Wednesday, April 30: Sketch Club, and Photos

Well, after sleeping very well overnight, I got up pretty groggy and headed on down to Mike’s for work. I was a little bit late but 


Wednesday is one day that it’s OK to be late cause I go to the 5:30 PM class instead of the 4 o’clock class. I ran into someone from the


studio who went to Leo 6:30 AM class. I got the Mike’s and thought maybe I was picking up a check for him, but that never happened. I then went back to Millbourne because I forgot to 

leave a check for Pat For my May rent so that I had to take care of on the way back from Millbourne, I went to the Sketch Club to see if I had two photographs there and lo and behold

 they were there believe it or not. I was. I felt very fortunate that I caught him while they’re open. Also found out they have

 another open call for that’s due in two weeks for a show that the topic is food. I think got back to Mike’s and the person never called him back to pick up a check. Mike 

got a call from a nurse that was going to visitso I stayed for that. I am dropping off a photo to the frame shop that that the woman said she would display and put up 

for sale. It’s a very mild day. It’s about 2:07 PM. I dropped off the photograph 

and it’s gonna be for sale for $200 and the original print our frame is gonna 

be $70 with a nice little chitchat and then I laughed and I’m 

heading to CVS pick up Mike script and Diet Pepsi. After that, I’m just gonna finish 

off the rest of Mike’s visit. I’m gonna pick up the two large Gatorade 

on the way to Mary’s. I gotta remember to do that. It’s 50% off the second one 

when you buy two of them and I have to buy two of them for the 

Prep. Well, well, well… It didn’t take long for Trump to fuck up the economy. The US  had a negative growth rate this past quarter which 

is the worst since 2022 in the recovery from Covid and high inflation. 

It’s amazing what one guy can do to the economy. I can’t believe that the law 

allows the president not Congress do all this bullshit with the

 terrace. Congress is almost next to useless!! I finished off at Mike’s and he was trying to take a nap. And then signed

 out late because I showed up late. I then went to the CVS and got 228 ounce Gatorade

 plus a 12 ounce and stuffed them in my backpack along with the MiraLAX or at least

 a generic equivalent of MiraLAX. I’m headed out this backpack pack of the girls it’s now

 4:05 PM heading down Locust towards right Rittenhouse Square. Maryann and 

I got back to her place at the same time we mellow it out. I had some 

iced tea and she just finished a massage. She decided that would be best to rest and I had it down to the studio where Dan
 is teaching  class. After Dan’s class is the Wednesday night yin 

class that used to be taught by Linda for a year and a half or so. It’s still pretty mild outside. I went to Dan’s 

class and it was pretty full in there. He didn’t even turn on the humidity

 because it was pretty humid. Afterwards, I took a quick shower, joined Mary at the end. Class taught by Hanalei. The class 
was pretty good. The music was well done for sure. I found that my shoulders are really stiff, especially my right shoulder.

 

Tuesday, April 29: A Buzy Spring Ahead

I got a good night sleep last night and woke up and it felt much better than I did yesterday. I started looking at my calendar in Jesus 
Christmas. It’s very busy. For 

a semi retired old guy I’m pretty busy which is good thing mostly that’s for sure. Anyhow, I just read on the 
Internet that Amazon is considering listing the cost of the tariffs on this products. I have a feeling

 Jeff Bezos is going to relent because Bezos wants to curry favor with Trump but I hope Amazon does list the cost of the tariff anyhow, I’m gonna walk Mike soon. Well, Mike and I took a leisurely walk where we 

walked sat for a while and walked sat for a while. It was an hour and a half but it was just so nice

 out. It was quite fascinating and fun. Then I went back and ran into this 

guy who talks about all things Delco. Once he found an old map of Upper Darby from the 1800s which

 features the sellers family prominently. I was pretty cool! I shared it with my family text group with no response as per usual but I enjoyed it. Anyhow, it’s 3:41 PM now 

I just left Mike’s going to yoga. I just read this in the USA Today. Trump’s tariffs will possibly

 adversely affect Social Security due to higher inflation and recession. Well, loopy taught 

the class today and the room was pretty hot. I think it was because the humidity 

was a little higher today and the temperature did reach about 80° today. The humidity is not 

bad as compared to later in the summer. anyhow, we hung out at the studio

 for a little while, drank up the rest of my water and we walked back to 
Mary’s house and watch the guy from Delta Delco and his 1800 map of Upper Darby, which is really great. I had one 


stuffed pepper out of the two that are available, which held me which is gonna hold me over until choir ends at 9 o’clock or 9:45 PM. . Well, we plowed through this piece tonight. We did the very end part 

and we did the beginning and some parts in the middle as well., The pianist was What’s rehearsing

 with us since Dan our director 
was out. I got no real information about hotels at all. I think I’m just on my own. I’m just gonna stick with my Amtrak stuff. Anyhow, it’s onward 

and upward we got a colonoscopy. We have choir concert and the Seahorse in Long Beach Island.
