Saturday, June 21: Mike’s 60th. Amtrak to NYC.


Good day. Mary and I got up around 9:30 AM and decided to go out to breakfast at the café to make sure we’re plenty full for the 


drive down to Baltimore. We scheduled to pick us up between 1130 and noon. We enjoyed our breakfast and got phones charged at the place, which is really cool. 

After that, we got ready to go. It’s now 11:40 AM. Let’s just pulled up. It’s now 1146. He’s gonna use the restroom and we’re gonna head on down to Baltimore. It’s 

very fortunate that Wes is driving us. That’s for sure. The drive Down I-95 went relatively 

smoothly. At the very end when we got off at I-695 there was an auto accident

 which caused all kinds of backups. We saw ahead of time and got off I-695 at the first exit which happened to be route one to Bel Air, Maryland. We got off there and then it was a dial 995 went relatively smoothly. At the very end when we got off at  
695 there was a auto accident which caused all kinds of backups. We saw ahead of time and got off 695 at the first exit which happened to be route one to Bel Air, Maryland. We got off there and
it 

was a smooth ride. Once you got the Mike’s, some people were already there, but we weren’t too early 
or too late. We’re out there about the 

perfect time. Mike and Mary loud on a nice spread of chicken wings pizza and salad and I scarfed down some of that shit it tasted really good. We had some good talking and hung out outside and then we 

got hot and we hung out inside next. Until it got too hot, it was pretty 

warm today. It wasn’t ridiculously warm, but it was warm enough 

for sure. I was glad I wore. I am really glad I did bring shortcut. It 



was very comfortable. Next thing you know it 5 o’clock rolled around and I called or I went on the Uber app 

and the Lyft app and the Lyft app was a little cheaper so I went with

 that but then the driver stuck at 17 minutes so I called Uber and then found out the 

Lyft found a new driver. I canceled Uber and was charged $5.50

 for my trouble. It was it was the problem was because the Internet service 

isn’t that great on AT&T so I got Mary’s home Wi-Fi number and things started working a lot better so I was kind of panicking when the one ride said it was 17 minutes for 10 minutes, not moving. So I took up. I decided to take the hit for that cause I really had no choice. We got to Baltimore station with plenty of time so far it ison time. In fact we boarding the 6 o’clock train already and it’s only 5:51 PM. We got a new train and it’s sold out train. First, I took a little bit nap and then saw the sunset. In between we were watching stuff on my phone, including TikTok the funnest thing was watching how the Phillies score scored two runs with both the base fighters 2 feet from each other. A lot of TikTokers headed on there that was great to watch again we’re done with rec room Park, which is one of those weird New Jersey places it’s all about being close to New York because that’s a northern Jersey is certified satellite to New York. It’s Now 8:18 PM I’m gonna take a quick nap before you landed at Monahan Station.  8:42 PM Trump has ordered bombing of 3️⃣ Iranian nuclear sites this evening. I don’t know what the hell he thinks is gonna happen by doing that but he doesn’t think too much so I don’t know what to say.

Saturday, March 30: Visiting Mike w/ Dave and Wes

Well, after waking up at Mary’s, I quickly got going and got dressed
and headed down to my place in Millbourne. I got off the train around 9:20 AM and Wes he’s gonna be there in 10 minutes so I quickly came home chow down on some raisin bran and took 

out my scripts and then I realized that I left my thermos somewhere and I didn’t have it with me. I was really bummed out, really bummed out I like so much. I told Maryann 

and she was and I asked her to check at the local little store that I shop at and lo and behold. I had left it there and they’re gonna save it for me. Those people are very nice at that little

 store. Or as I relieved. I’m obviously not going to yoga today but I plan to go after brunch with my mom Mary and my 

brother David. Anyhow, Wes picked me up at 9:30 straight and went to Dave’s hung out at Dave and Debbie‘s place I had a few muffins 
We shot the shit for a little while 

and then we headed on down the scenic route avoiding I 95 completely on the way to Baltimore. We then went to Redding 

terminal place with a bunch of different food stores. Food stores had 

some wings and some buffalo wings  Wings were to die for but the buffalo wings 

were just OK but they were filling so we hung out and shit. It 

was fun. It was a good time. There was no basketball. There was some happy artist Bob somebody and there’s a whole cable channel with Bob Ross, that’s right his name 

is Bob Ross channel on cable and we just shot the shit , it’s called the grand 

Crew Market. After we chow down, we headed back to Mike’s place

 and chilled out. We watched the Phillies versus the Braves and with musical background. We talked about Mike going back to work and starting chemo. He hasn’t started yet. Erin is pitching for the Phillies and are losing 6 to 3 right nowAtlanta hit two home runs and a couple doubles. It’s now 5:36 PM. 

We’re getting ready to leave Mike’s. We going home. We’re taking

 the scenic route through route . well, it’s now 8:57 PM. We just got back just 
taking a pitstop and then head back to my patient billboard. Must’ve talking. I’ve 
looked up some old photos. It was June 22, 2022 when I started yoga in the wave. So basically taking from HYP Philadelphia I wish I didn’t have to do that but I did. Anyhow, we’re hanging out at Mike’s. The Phillies game

 was in the background. For the second time in a row the Atlanta Braves wipe the floor with the Phillies. This time it was 12 to 4. Aaron Nola got pounded for seven runs. Not an auspicious way to start the new baseball

 season.
