Saturday October 26: Breakfast w/ Friends

Hi well, it’s Saturday and that means it was time to get up at 8 AM and get ready for a trip to Lynnwood at 10 o’clock and that’s what we did. We got up got ready and left. We tram the Dorchester to suburban station, which is not that far and 

called the 9:07 AM train. It was on time and it was packed very packed. We got the Wynnewood about a half hour early so we decided we’d take the tour of 

my old neighborhood on Owen Road via Aubrey Road. It was nice to see and it was really brilliantly beautiful out there with all the leaves changing and what not. 

We got to see my house red got to see Stewart Stewart and Wes‘s house as well. We walked to the “dead end”
 where we used to sneak into Arnold Field 

all the time. after that, we got back to the restaurant right at 10 o’clock and Glen and Donna were already there. They seemed like they were waiting for us. We then

 got a delicious breakfast with a very helpful waitress who told us she was making $2.40 an hour and she has a three year-old kid. She looked like she was 21 but

 she was 27. she got a nice tip and we had a really nice time together just catching up and talking.. is a really good time we all shared good conversations, etc. Mary and I were

 very fortunate to catch the 1109 train was running 10 to 15 minutes late so we didn’t have to wait long to get home to Mary’s. Once we got back do a little bit 
of shopping at CVS and take advantage of coupons, etc. I got some shaving cream and a travel toothbrush. Mary got some items as well. We then got back to her place and

 decided that a quick afternoon nap would really be the right thing to do before a rigorous 4 PM yoga class. We took this nap and it was very very nice. Just nice to do nothing 

and be off the feet for a while. It’s 3:02 PM I’m just having a yogurt and waking up a little bit. Well, Mary felt a little queasy stomach and her physical therapy 

was has been very hard so she’s gonna take a day off just like I will tomorrow. 

The cleaning ladies coming tomorrow with late so I won’t be going to 

mom’s till later that afternoon. Anyhow, it’s now 331 and I’m heading into Miah‘s 4 o’clock class. Men’s 4 o’clock was very good. It wasn’t too

 crowded and the heat was OK little warmer than yesterday, but that was to be expected. I found myself feeling pretty stiff, but I got through it pretty good I think. I got to see progress

 on the third floor renovation. They’re doing more than the floor repainting
 the walls as well which is pretty far out that’s for sure. I cooled off & chitchatted

 with a couple people and then I decided to catch the bus and I think it’s just 

as fast as walking, which is not fast at all, but I just felt a little lazy so I’m just sitting

 in the bus. It sounds 615. I’m gonna get some tea for both of us. I got 

back to the Dorchester and we ordered some Indian food and then we got distracted and 

didn’t pick it up for 40 minutes. The nice lady Who owns the place

 greeted Maryann that was a nice exchange. Within watched two episodes of 

Law and Order CI. Both of us really like that show and it’s really

 cool to go back to the beginning of the 
episode when you watched the whole thing and put everything together. It’s cool to see that and then we figure out what the hell happened in the show. And it was time to go to bed and get some shot for another Sunday coming up.

Sunday, September 28: Brunch w/Family

This morning I got up around 9:30 AM to get ready to meet up with my brother John, my mother Wes and Dave. John’s coming back east
 for a 

little bit to go to Saint Joe prep high school reunion. So he stayed over days and we’re going down to meet Dave at his club at 

noon tomorrow at noon today. Well I got in give myself plenty of time to shower and shave and dress up in a way that the club deemed acceptable I mean Dave

 deems acceptable. Wes picked me up right on time and we went to the club and Google took us a very secured route but we got there in plenty

 of time. I expect five minutes early, which is good so if they showed up talked about stuff about work.  Dave and John both deal with AI and AWS servers and stuff

 like that. Will the grand finale of the afternoon was John opening up in Wedding present from Wes that Wes had been holding onto for five years. It was an old 

vase/ornament that hold that had cream dimension when we were kids. It was an old ornament for my father that was standing on top of one of themliving room beers and 

managed not to ever get hit by Nerf balls, football balls, soccer balls, etc.. Wes had poem written by AI with the sound of a poet. Wes said he edit it for a while. It was pretty

cool. I did record the whole thing and put it on YouTube as a limited view video. We’ll see how that works. I tried it on Venmo but I couldn’t get it to work so I went back on the YouTube and did it that way hopefully that’ll 

go over OK we left around 2:30 PM and I got back just in time to change and get my yoga stuff together for some reason I couldn’t find my sweatshirt, my California shirt nor my 

thermos so official I don’t know where it is unless I left it at Mike’s, but I don’t think I left it at Mike’s. I thought I left it at home, but I can’t find it. Anyway, 

I did catch the train on timeand I sent some pictures of the event to the family. When went to yoga and the chicken cheesesteak in my stomach, hello was not settling I 
down very well or I felt like I ate too soon before class. I made it through class, but I was definitely struggling due to the food more than the heat. It was a good 

class I like Miah’s classes and then we came backhung out and then Mary discovered the HVAC system was still leaking after 

the repairman came and took the motor out so that was a bit of a funky ass thing. And we ordered Indian food very late, which is good because I wasn’t really

 hungry for a long time due to the aforementioned chicken cheesesteak and Yoga. It’s now 9:25 PM. Well, we watched
a really good episode of Law and order 

criminal Intent after having Indian food. I couldn’t finish all mine pocket of the cheesesteak I had earlier. It was a really 
good show and 

then Mary check the radiator HVAC system and it was still leaking. We ended up not going to bed for a while such as something

 like 2:30 in the morning because a guy came out from somewhere 30 minutes away to recheck the system.
Tomorrow, 

the cleaning ladies coming and I have a 4️⃣ hour choir practice. This week definitely was the change 
of season starting. It went from being 
sunny and mild for three weeks straight to over class overcast cool and cloudy for the majority of it. Last Thursday was a 

heroic day historic day where it started off cool and then it hit 80° and humid as hell whichmade for one of the hottest Hot Yoga classes I’ve ever experienced in my three years of this practice. As we slowly inch towards October fall is truly here and the election is creeping closer like creeping socialism or autocracy.
