Sunday, February 15th: Trip to LBI. Dinner @ Dave’s

Good morning everybody today is day 3️⃣ of the time warp that is mid February 2026. Thank you. Anyhow this morning I got up around8:30 AM tired is all hell barely conscious my eyes were stuck to my eyeballs. I got up and went to Hot Yoga , Philadelphia not to go to class at 9 o’clock, but to pick up mats. I was so tired oh my God. Anyhow, picked up the mats, saw Dan.  Tucker said hello and I then left. I came 
back & napped for about a half hour with Mary. Then we gained consciousness and decided to go to the Montreal spread bagel to pick up coffee since it’s so close and pick up the egg and cheese sandwiches. 

Then we would head out to Long Beach Island with our rental car that we purchased. Well, the tribe was pretty smooth. There was no trafficbecause it was off-season and on a Sunday. Most people leave the island on Sunday when it’s summertime. Anyhow, we went to the island and we 
went directly to the yacht club because we saw that the clubhouse was completely raised and had frame for a new two-story clubhouse. This dude was very curious why we pulled over so I pulled head figuringhe didn’t want me in front of the chain-link fence at the construction site. Then even after I moved, the guy was still curious why it was here. I told him right up front. My parents used to be members of the club back in the day. And then he gave me some information about certain old members that 

were still there and that the new clubhouse won’t be done till December of this year meaning December 2026. Those are an interesting conversation. I videotaped it and then we moved on to the old De Frida’s parking lot. That’s all that’s left a parking lot. Nothing has been built on that property since they tore it down several years ago. We then decided to go straight from Nardi‘s Tavern, which we drove by and go to Holgate. Holgate was pretty cool. It was extra cold and windy. We saw this remembrancearea with people putting 
remembrance of deceased friends or relatives. They put these on seashells and it was in a grouping so I got the idea. I should do something for mom so we found a good shell and we were going to do it right then and there, but nobody had a sharpie that we could use so we brought it back do the 
Dorchester. Before we went to the Dorchester, we went up to Barnegat light and found some mallards and we found Dave and Debbie a gift but 
we were very tempted to buy him a big mallard decoy which we just laughed and laughed. It was funny as shit. We then got back to the Dorchester in 

mellowed out. It was great to have time to relax w/ Mary.

Monday, September 16: Last Day at LBI

After trying to fit two adults in a children’s bed we gave up on that idea and I just crashed on one of the other beds at Dave’s place. I slept


very well after that. We got up and loaf and then we went out to breakfast at the place. That we went to before we went to Long Beach Island. I really forget the 

place right now. I had pancakes and Mary I believe had an omelette of some sort. She had 2 cups of coffee. 
☕️ I had one cup and a coffee was very good and the service was 

really good. They were pretty busy considering it was a random Monday in the middle of September. The atmosphere in the island so chill this time compared to less traffic


and all that stuff. We took her sweet time with breakfast and then decided we weren’t gonna make it to Yoga today. It would be too much of a rush. Anyway, after breakfast, I decided 

we would go to Holgate. We checked out Holgate , we met this woman who was very talkative a little strange. She seemed like she was going through some trauma couple times I thought

 she was gonna cry. She was nice enough but a little odd. She asked Mary’s age so that tells you enough. Anyway, she did point out where the  Place was 

where people trailers and stuff I didn’t think there any left after hurricane Sandy, but there are a few there’s one RV place in the whole whole gate. There was interesting. 

We drove by and I think I took a couple videos there. Anyway, we thought of going to, but it was closed for a 5 to 10 minute break I think at least that’s what the sign look like.  After that, we just decided to go back to clean 

up and double check the cleaning of day. We did find a little bit of sand so it was a good thing that Mary swept up. We locked up the place and headed out slowly off the island. Smoothly, but the thing was it mapped had a 

faster route home, which is basically 73 to , Betsy Ross 95. I know it was kind of a weird way to get home. Eventually got back to Mary. She picked up the stuff and the rental car place at 1325 Art St. That was a strange

 ride, but I got to talk to a couple people on the way and Mike’s guy that replaced me is , no threat to my job which was good. Anyhow
I dropped off the car and walked back to Mary’s and just picked up some 
Indian food. About the same time we get back after 5:30 class so worked out pretty well. We’re going to  watch a movie called brother where art thou. Eagles are playing Monday night



 football tonight as well. I guess the Atlanta Falcons at home , my brother David and his 

family are going to the game in West was invited to the game. Will the 

Eagles completely choked in that game bad loud Atlanta to score the end of the game it was just ugly and no reason to lose that game.
