Monday January 16: A Day Off

  Hi one and all how are you doing? I had a lazy day so far. I had   reakfast & hung out with Sharon and now I'm going to get my laundry to the laundromat. I'm  now waiting for the Uber to show up I took the cheap Uber Pool so The driver goes  around in circles picking up somebody before he picks me up. I'm not in a real hurry so it it doesn't   eally matter. I also ordered photos and I need to pick which photos and going to enter in the   atest exhibit. It's at the art alliance and it's a juried show so hopefully one of mine will go in. 
 'm really hungry so want to get to West Philly and probably going to chow down on something. It's now 2:33 PM and will be waiting  for the Uber driver to eventually show up. Well the Uber  dude already had a person in the car. He was very talkative and I just wasn't much in the mood for conversation. He drove pretty  fast and I was the first one dropped off so that was cool. Haven't heard   rom Amy and now I'm visiting Pat and hopefully were going to get an early dinner and stuff. I got the   ass and we did order early dinner and it was very tasty that's for sure. We then   atched two shows on Pats Amazon Prime. Pat then attempted to get his one plane to start. He is   ery patient with that. That would drive me nuts trying to figure out how to get the plane to start. I   hen came home after getting some items at the CVS. I then went on social media and
 have a fairly busy week ahead.  omorrow I'm supposed to help Sharon with   er situation with her case. Dating stuff is much better thank you.   es what can I s ay about this billboard that was right near pats house?

Friday, September 9: A Day in DC. White House MLK Memorial and Georgetown

The View from My Bed
Well after a nice night of sleep at the hospital, we got up and had our free breakfast on the second floor. The hostel breakfast was fine. The man in charge was really into his job. you can't go  barefoot and I had to leave my backpack somewhere else. I guess they didn't want people hoarding food.
View from Hostel
He was nice but kind of loud for 7 o'clock in the morning.
Sunrise in DC
We then walked towards the White House which with a easy 15 minute walk.
Make visit at the

White House and then I decided to take over towards the Martin Luther King Memorial. Thank
FDR Memorial
God for over because it was a 27 minute walk and it's too damn hot to run walk anywhere too long in
MLK Memorial
humid DC. Well I met Meg back at the hotel Washington. There we decided to grab a second breakfast
Hotel Washington
which was excellent. Please have a nice atmosphere and service was pop flight. I didn't omelette and shit something little more fancy. Next we took the metro down to the Cannon office building so she could meet th congressional aide who assisted Meg getting her White House ticket.  She reserved her ticket starting three months ago. So she could go to the White House today. That was fun near conditioning in the building was great. After the
Cannon building, we hung out a bit and then we decided we would go to Georgetown. Meg
talked about Georgetown a little bit and we thought about maybe going later in evening. Instead we
decided that we would go early in the afternoon. So we caught the metro @ a stop called Foggy Bottom.
After we got off at Foggy Bottom we caught the 30 bus. We then decided to get off where it looked
like it was kind of funky and I are a lot of stores. The first place we saw was a place that you would pay
money to hang out with cats and drink coffee or tea. It was called the cat house. One of the women
working there said that was one of those kind of places in Philadelphia. I think a point finding one of
those places. We decided not to do the cat thing because it was 15 bucks for each person. We just
couldn't see ourselves  spending $30 to hang out with cats. Hey Meg how you doing?  I hope you got
some technology to charge your phone. I was able to charge it at the meeting. It was very comfortable
clubhouse that I went to. After the meeting ended, a woman recommended that instead of taking the
train, I could just walk he said I would get there at the same time.  It's a very scenic walk I'm walking from
Dupont Circle e.g 1623 Connecticut Ave. to Georgetown  going to Gypsy Sally's on 3401 K St. Well we
made it to Gypsy Sally's around 7:20 PM. I ordered some notches and Hawthorne watch the Phillies playing
the Nationals on the big TV. Well we got a bite to eat and we got to talk. A husband and wife are playing
at this place she played the bass and he played other instruments. Every quite the young couple with a
one-year-old. That's what the woman announced to us.. It was a pleasant experience that's for
sure. We marched on even darn technology failed us at some point. It shows it we are
resourceful. Anyhow, we decided to take over so we can get back to the hostel earlier than later.
