The Place

Got up and took my friend to her son's apartment and then back to the place she just moved back to. Then I visited my brother in Towson. But before then

Lodging

4 hour overage of rental time. Anyhow I return the car after going around circles at the airport. I waited 40 minutes for the airport line to show up at 6:11 and I'm going to 30th St. and then taking the Elder 40th St. to dinner at Pats impossible report and play music.

Looks like they are reducing the amount of snow that Philadelphia will get. We're now down 4 to 6 inches. Check out the link to Mr. John Bolaris reporting on the weather!

Well I had some pasta with pesto and sun-dried tomatoes and scallions. I also bought a little bucket of Indians with me as well. I did some texting but no calling tonight.

5:30 at the Airport

I did some recording with Pat with a app that records videos and has special effects. You can videotape and have special-effects I had Pat on sepia 50 sepia that is. He was strumming a sting song called Lee's of gold. We had

that is attached to the end of the phone. I don't like taking off the life proof cover because the yellow gasket tends to come all loose. I remember how to use that the Taj in the program because I deleted it when I didn't have any room in the camera.

It is now going on 10 o'clock and is feeling epic colder but it only a very faint Wayne right now misty rain I would call it. Good night!

Starting the Weekend

View from Dentist office Friday

Friday morning at Rittenhouse SQ

Caught a 7 Pm bus Friday

The 2nd weekend in March. It is my anniversary month and Spring is around the corner. Friday. Right now I took the 7pm Greyhound bus heading to Baltimore.The bus was PACKED but I have enough room to blog on the bus. I sat next to a Penn grad student. She studies cell biology and she is visiting her boyfriend in DC. Its pretty quiet on the bus now and I like it! The rain has stopped and I hear its gonna be a nice warm weekend.

HoJo's in Pikesville MD

What do I want to write about for 2 hours? Politics,  and work are a bit played out  for now. I am thinking I could write about lust. Lust, you ask?  Yes, folks that will be my topic. A friend on Google + sent me an article from the Huffington Post website that argues that sharing porn with your wife/girlfriend etc, can be good for the relationship.
 Well, this runs against all current thinking about this topic. Porn has been denigrated as a social curse that breaks up families and relationship. It has been said it can be a habit like smoking or alcohol. My favorite part of the article is when the writer makes a crack about that mag Cosmopolitan.You know the magazine that gives sex tips and how to catch a man. By all means read it.

 I was going to share how lust is a double-edged sword etc,  but I got distracted  and I decided to order the GoGo's/ B-52' concert playing in NYC on Weds June 19th at the Roseland Ballroom I bought the 2 tickets while on the bus and that WIFI was slow for sure. Each page had a timer on the bottom right of the screen. Ticketmaster (we are all concert slaves to them) said the purpose was to ensure everyone gets a chance to buy tix from them. I don't believe it but, oh well.  It should be pretty fun. I think we will take an extra day off to see the sights of NYC.

I-95 Leaving Baltimore

It's now Saturday afternoon Last night was fun. I was able to have my friend and her cat in the room at 7 pm since I  did not arrive till 10:45 or so. We ordered out a pizza and it was really good. I got food coma and fell asleep! This morning she gave me a disturbing news. She got a moving violation last week She was hesitant to tell me since the driver's license may be taken away.

Eddie By Pat

Checked out of the HoJo'S and found out a purse was left at the motel. tell her she left that lumpy cat was scared really stupid it's a beautiful mild day it will be daylight savings time tomorrow

I am on the 21 running late to the Early Night Out meeting.I am late cause Chestnut is jammed. I walked from 18th to 12th St and I stayed ahead of the bus. I  was 15 min late. The meeting was about relationships. kinda apropos I would say!  I ate dinner with Pat. I was going to meet at a  Jazz club I decided to stay in and just chill at Pats. It was more relaxed.

Abbie and Pat March 9

I got my scripts at the CVS while. Pat was was out on a dog-walking job. I am thinking about one year ago when I did the unthinkable and I was in a state of despair.  I made a decision that changed who and what I am and am trying to become.

The Begnning of the Last Month!

While I was at at work last Friday I got the old. "your your own worst enemy " talk from Chuck.
Clerical said at a Sups meeting that I am the worst in making clients wait to be seen. Also I was accused of sarcasm.
 It was time for weekend to get started and leave the work stuff where it belongs at WORK! It will be there when Monday comes!

Cooking with Dean Sat Dec 1st

21 to 30th St 12-1

Yum at HoJos

I cashed my paper (yes that is correct) check and I just noticed that I JUST made 25 years of service when I looked at my pay stub. I want THAT DPW pin!! LOL. I bet that was cut from the budget! That might explain things.
I spent Friday night doing errands, then I went to Priceline.com to get the HoJos and the Hertz for Saturday and went to bed.

Perryville Md Toll 12-2

Coming Back Home 1 PM Dec 2nd

Saturday, Dean made breakfast and we just hung out and farted around and ate quite well. I then took some leftovers for the drive to Md starting at 1pm. I got to Pikesville about 3pm after a smooth ride in a car with Sirius/XM Satellite Rado. I listened to the early 80's New Wave stuff mostly with some "classic vinyl". When I got to the HoJos, I just chowed down on the homemade food I had packed from Dean's cooking. I then proceeded to take a nap for about 30 min. We just chilled out for awhile since the week had taken a toll. It was cool just chill out for awhile and then just go back to sleep. I then woke up early Sunday and took a nice warm bath.  Boy, that worked quite well for my back and neck for sure.
My sponsor said I need to take a break and listen to music. I got my earphones on the ready.
Sunday Dec 2nd. I drove in the fog of Maryland thick at the the mouth of the Susquehanna River near Perryville and Port Deposit. Man that fog was foggy! No traffic mishaps to report thank goodness. After I parked the rental, I went to pick up the TONS of laundry that was waiting for me. I then blogged a bit and went to visit a friend. We made a fire and caught up with each other about what the latest in recovery, work and play.

I am fighting a cold. I guess it's God's hint that I need to slow down. Ya think???
Today I did follow that advice and when some more B.S floated my way, I just floated away with my phone and got some some iced tea, my favorate Arnold Palmer Iced Tea.

Nice Touch from Dean!

Another View :)

I was crusin pretty good but I had 4 or 5 people and lost some of that feeling. I finished work and took the bus home where I was greeted with a EXTRA delicious dinner with all the fixins. The kitchen looked great and I just chowed down to the MAX! After dinner I went to  another meeting as planned at the church basement. It was pretty good with the mix of young old and all in between. Afterwards, I had a nice talk with some nice woman I know from the meeting. We just talked about Al-Anon Sunday's at Noon in Fairmount and other stuff of meetings and relationships. Glad we are friends. I can always learn from a friend

Well, it goes without saying that "Love is like oxygen. You get too much you get too high, not enough you gonna die!" That is my favorite song by Sweet. I see 2 Psych this week. This ought to be interesting for sure. God it was good to see the old friends from 20 years ago. It was a flashback last week. We have the fiscal cliff talks going on. Will Obama stick to his guns and get tax increases for the top 2% or will he let the Republicans steamroller him?? Who won the election? Will the payroll tax go up? Will I have a new roommate in the Summer? How long will it take to download my files to the be saved in the "Cloud" via CrashPlan. It may take till the end of the week. Who knows? Not we Agnostics!! We have to stick to the program man!
 Well, time to get ready for cleaning up the dishes and sleeping
