but it hurt a bit that's for sure. Starting at 12:30, I was running back-and-forth for my dog. When I came

Peter and one of them was full of problems that had nothing to do with my unit😁
My Clean Workspace

I remembered my clipboard for my meeting thank God. I was able to also postpone the dog job
till 8 PM so I can do my meeting thing. I'm now on a pact bus going about four blocks to 19th St. I'm
42nd and Chestnut

sitting here at Saxbys and it's very warm but dammit I'm not off for a second after I load up some pictures. It's now 5:56 PM. Yeah, I proceeded to go to Saxbys and get a coffee. I found this very comfortable lounge chair and proceeded to take a nice nap. I attempted to edit the blog but the service was so slow it couldn't
be done. I'm hoping my Internet works when I get home. Larry's going to look at a plumbing supply place to order this clip for Larry's shower.
I looked it up on Amazon and It's 15 bucks l get to my workplace by Wednesday if I ordered the next 2 hours. It's now 9:30 PM I am
waiting for the EL and 46 street I decided I just go overnight with no Scrips and pick them up at the CVS tomorrow morning,
Well I was walking to catch either the 7 or the 48 and someone on Facebook linked me to this article  about being white and Irish in Philadelphia. It looks interesting.

Sunday, March 15: A Chilly March Day

Today I woke up not feeling quite exhausted. It also helped that it's not pouring rain outside.
My Place to 4701 Pine
It is a bit chilly outside. I walk the dog and went to Sunday fun day and then went to the bar at nine after hanging
Walnut Street
out with my buddy and having a good talk. After the barn on the 40 bus to the seven bus which she

had a massive detour because of the St. Patrick's Day parade going on today. I went and caught the
The Dog Park at 4701
40 bus walked a bit and then cut the seven bus back to 718 and met up with Bob. Bob typed out

some links for Larry to get rechargeable batteries and I took a quick power nap. We then drove out to
Saxby's
Larry's via Fairmount Avenue because the St. Patrick's Day was closing up the parkway. We picked up
South Street
Larry and went to Fishtown and first stopped at the La Colombe. There, we waited in line for 15 minutes and decided that nothing
Bridget Foy's
 on the menu is really enticing so we looked up a place in the mug shot café.
A Filipino Meal
It had a bunch of mugshots of famous people in Hollywood actors in their mugshots. I got a nice
22nd Street
platter for $13 which was a tilapia platter with two sides of vegetables. Larry and Bob talked a lot why
2nd Street in Old City
looked up airfares to various countries overseas. Cities such as London Manila Bangkok etc. Bob

gave me a good idea to leave for New York. And I found that the rates were anywhere from  $ 100 to

$ 200 cheaper After, Bob drove Larry back home and then drove me to my dog walk where I was fairly

late. They noticed but I think I covered myself fairly well on that one. I had them agreed that I would

come a little early in the morning later in the evening and same time in the afternoon. Well I did
Larry's Shower
go to Larry's and attempted to help him with this plumbing and it went okay except that we lost

one set of directions and this one piece didn't fit flush so the insulation was not so smooth. But the shower works
Front Desk at Garden Court
Then I went to 60 minutes and walked home with a couple people and got the 42 bus to 4701. After greeting the nice woman at the front desk, I walked the dog and then getting home was

extension cords and the like to make room for all the electronic devices that have in my room. Bob
encouraged me to remove some of the jump off my desk and throw it out and which I did. Now my room
My Pup
looks quite livable and I posted on Facebook. Next, Bob and I went to meet Larry and Veronica
Sharon and Bob
at Pizza Rustica. They had gotten a good seat at the corner. It was a good thing because the place was

packed due to the St. patties day bar crawl going on. Due to the fact my sandwich took forever
Sharon & I at the Bishops
