Saturday, May 23: Early Yoga. Breakfast @ Café.

Today we woke up a little bit early to head to Lawrence 11 AM 75 minute Hot Yoga class. We’re both had 1️⃣ banana and went to the Class. I definitely had my morning body going on, but it was a good class. We enjoyed it very much. Afterwards I was so thirsty. It was quite unbelievable. I just couldn’t even think straight. We didn’t get back to Mary’s place. I made some extra electrolyte water and had iced tea. Then I found out through YouTube that Stephen Colbert’s on local access TV. This was taped in Monroe Michigan, where he had taped to show back In June 2015. The show was so deadpan and funny. It featured Jack White, of the white stripes, and they had two local people who usually host a show. One of them was Miss America 1989 or 88. We were laughing so hard then we realized we had to go eat breakfast at the café extremely soon so we went to the café and that was really delicious. They let us stay past their closing time to finish eating. We then went to Framework. To bring one of my photos to get refrained. We ended up finding this photo that was completely absurd that they was gonna sell for 10 bucks. It was a guy standing there. It looked like he was playing ping-pong, naked with his Boner sticking out we were laughing so hard. I don’t think I laughed that hard in ages. The proprietor asked us to drop off the picture and told us a little bit about the weird painting. We’re gonna buy it when we let go there. Came back watched Roger me and also the rest of the Colbert thing from 2015. We are having a good time. The weather was pretty shitty, but we didn’t care we were having fun. I don’t think Mary and I laughed so hard in the last 3️⃣ years that we did today between Colbert, sucking oxygen with the former Miss America in Monroe Michigan to the great artwork for $10 that we’re gonna get and maybe it’ll be my spirit animal maybe I’ll use that on my business card but I’m first gonna look up the guys name on the back of the painting. It looked like he was an art student back in 2010. I don’t think I ever left that much with Mary as hard as we did today. Between watching Colbert on that public access TV and that weird painting with the guy looking like he’s wearing a playing racquetball in the nude it was hilarious. It’s made up for the miserable rainy weather. We’ve been having for the last two days. Tomorrow we get up for breakfast and we meet Donna and her new boyfriend Dean. 

Sunday, November 14. Stuck in Detroit & going to Philadelphia

Today, early today I missed my connecting flight to Philadelphia. I 
am stuck in Detroit my my luggage arrives three hours before I do.  I had to call the special number and walk all the way around walk back and throw from the airport.  They have this big empty

 hallway do you have to go down the escalator go through that and go up the escalator to the other terminal. Another

 words terminals ANB are very far from each other thank God they had those
 moving sidewalks. It is really cloudy and gray here in cold Detroit. To complete 

difference in whether it’s amazing. I’m sitting here deciding if I want to eat if I don’t have coffee 

or I just wanna wait on that stuff I’m tired but at least I’m charging my 

phone so I don’t lose contact with the outside world. It is now 8:16 AM.  It’s 12:55 PM  we finally  landed

 people are actually getting off the plane in Philadelphia. I just found out the airport 

line runs every hour because it is you know Sunday. Happy sleep because you know she took out the 

Detroit. I hope it doesn’t take me too long to find my luggage which was in Philadelphia

 since probably at least 11 o’clock. Well I Have Finally Rd., Philadelphia 

and around 1 PM Eastern time. I was able to find my luggage pretty easily. I then decided

 to take Uber because it was just easier. We got home and turned it to 
Danny and eventually took a shower. Everything took a while because I’ve barely slept. I’m now on the 105 bus 
 heading to Ardmore. It is now 3:50 PM go to I got to the Ardmore House 

house at 5:15 PM we decided to not walk because I’m so down to the world that it really work. I’m actually surprisingly coherent considering the long ass flight and missing connecting flight stuff that I went through earlier today. So I took a nice nap and I feel like I weighed 500 pounds trying to get up. I had dinner and we talked and mellowed out I think at the better half decent time. Tomorrow’s my first day of work in two weeks which I haven’t done in years.

Time for Tuesday!!!!

Waiting for Bus 7am

Well twice I attempted to start the blog birthday and twice it said it was uploading and never uploaded so afterwords I walked  a friend  to 7th & Market, then  turned around, to 8th and Market to

At Saxby's

catch the EL.I got to work and didn't have a lot of interviewing for his energy not getting my miscellaneous junk and complete 3 reports just in time! I was quite relieved  that reports got done.  I got this message today and I thought it was funny.  

"The blog is cute - Sure I can meet up with you this weekend. PS I like the same kind of food you do."

What can say I got the cutest blog in West Philly! Correct that all of Philly ha

Cream in Coffee

ha Ha ha ha!! It's 6:50 PM I am now going to the Gratitude meeting at 17th and Delancey. It's a nice day all around.

Just before the gratitude I got a message from someone I got this text from someone I know well.

"What do you do when you want to throw your life away?"

I want to say in blunt terms get with(in) the program. I realize however I can't make anybody do anything that they're not prepared to do themselves. As I've heard many times you have to want it not just need it.

7th Street towards Market

I also heard from new friend in Michigan with her own views of  living in a large city. I found it to interesting. She lives in a small town where it is quiet

'Thank you mark from Philly. it was a pleasure meeting you also. your life is so different than mine. i look at your pictures and think damn, i couldn't live that way...in the city with no trees and all those people. i sit here tonight with no sound whatsoever. no nothing. quiet. peaceful. i couldn't live any other way.

Yes I have to agree with her, trees do make a place more livable and quiet!!

It's nice to meet new people from different lands and experiences. I met this friend at the Wheatland Music Festival earlier this month. It was a gas and I hope to come back in Sept 2014!!
I will wrap this up with a comment about 1992. This is the LAST time the Pittsburgh Pirates made the MLB Playoffs.

"This just in: 1992 was a long time ago. In fact, some who are reading this may not have even been alive then. What was happening in 1992? Tom Brady was a sophomore at Serra High School in San Mateo, CA. End of the Road by Boyz II men was the No. 1 song (as if you didn’t know). And Barry Bonds and Kirk Gibson were teammates with the Pittsburgh Pirates.That’s also the last time the Pirates made it to the postseason — before today."

On my front Porch

Boy that does sure bring me back to the carefree days of yore. The movie "American Graffiti" asked the question: "Where were you in '62?" In my Well, 1992 was when Bill Clinton won the presidency. This ENDED a woeful time to be a Democrat with losses with Michael Dukakis,  Walter Mondale and Jimmy Carter getting creamed by Ronald Reagan. I was going back to work for the Welfare Department and I was fired from the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging after 5 painful months. Frankly, I just sucked at that job. It was VERY depressing.  To my  friends born in the early 60's I want to ask the question:

Appel Farm in Elmer 1992

"Where were you in '92??

Well, that is all. October is right around the Corner and a trip to San Diego is coming up on Oct 8th to Oct 15
