Saturday, April 18: Breakfast, Parents Wedding Photo, & Yoga

Well, after sleeping in, we got up and decided we would go to the heart of catering café and have breakfast. I needed protein and we were up late enough that making breakfast would’ve taken too long so we went there and decided to have breakfast. It took them a while to serve our breakfast though we did get our coffee and water served was very quickly. After we left the café, we decided that we would take the my parents wedding photo to the frame shop to get it framed. I’ve discovered that the Bachrach Studios might be good to keep and I look them up on the Internet and oh my God Bachrach Studios have a  history of photographing since the Civil War. They’ve taken pictures of Thomas Edison and other famous people.  It was obvious that I should keep the name of the photographer Bradford Bachrach. Then we decided we might need to go to the Photo Lounge and we went there and they said they would give us a scanned picture of it so they’re gonna retrieve from the frame shop on Monday and give it back to the frame shop and do a full scan of it. This was initiated by Michael, my brother, requesting a 5 x 7 of the photo so that was another $150 on top of the $160 I’m getting for the original to be framed so so there! Anyway went back to Mary’s and relaxed before our 4 o’clock yoga class. Well, we went to our 4 o’clock yoga class in Charlise was substituting for Tina. There wasn’t that many people in the class. There was plenty of room to spread out. There was one guy who wouldn’t follow orders on the rabbit and that was kind of weird, but other than that, the class was great. She’s a really good instructor and you complimented me on my twist at the end. After that, we went and bought some vodka sauce and pasta because that’s what I can eat while my tooth is pulled out of my face next Wednesday. Previewing pleasure. This is a video of the day they made it so it had listed so I could share. I don’t know why they’re doing that.

Thursday, January 22: First Day of Work Picture Frames & Yoga

This morning I woke up from a decent night of sleep. The drugs kicked in nicely and my toothache didn’t keep me up. I talked to Mary a bit and showed up at Mike’s a little after 9 AM. On the way to work I called Colman & Turner dentistry and they agreed to see me first thing in the morning at 8 AM to work on this tooth. I am going to bring up implants just to find out what we’re talking about here so I got a quote of 4000 for   2️⃣ teeth so it 

would be 6️⃣ grand to do three teeth. So it’s gonna be a very interesting six months cause probably in the next six months I’ll be applying for Medicare and
that’s my latest thought. Anyhow, Mike and I made a couple calls. Nichole showed up and we’re going to be submitting our photographs on 29 January for the Sketch Club passionate art for both of us got accepted. I wrote a review on tank girls for loopy and now I gotta write a review for byron and Hot Yoga , Philadelphia. I just have to get 
my brain around it. Anyhow, feel OK right now and I’m really relieved the tooth is not killing me. Anyhow, I just got notified of this article written in the Wall Street Journal how we’re just as a country self-destructing ourselves. The article states it, China and Russia don’t have to do anything to hurt our standing as a countryin the world Trump‘s doing afine job at that. anyhow, I met Mary around noon to settle out the photographs for the exhibit we had them custom framed and I paid about $100 and changed for a custom frame for my photo. They’ll be done by next Wednesday, which is good because that the deadlines on 

the following Thursday we then after that we then went to lunch at the café and I had myself a wrap. I thought I was going to leave quicker but ended up talking about dental implants. I remember when Auditor General Bud Dwyer shot himself on live TV 39 years ago on January 22, 1987. I read the comments on the 

Facebook post and then it snowed 8.8 inches that day. It was a snow day for a lot of people. I know the state didn’t close because they never close except during that 34 inch blizzard we had in 1996 a year earlier. In general winners were brutal for a long period of time
now we have in Philly 2️⃣ rough weeks at the end of every January that are just friggin galactically awful with snow and frigid temperatures but rest of the time it’s usually mid 30s, which is pretty easy. Well, the talk this week is about the impending snowstorm coming on Sunday. It’ll start first thing in the morning on Sunday weather forecast range from now 8 to 18 inches it’s all over the map. I love how the Internet just making fun of the procrastinators and also the news for trying to hype it up. I’ll never forget John Bolaris reporting on the storm in the century back and then mid 90s and gotten Hooten 



and he was laughed out of the city and had to go to New York for a few years, cause he was mocked and it was a beautiful thing.

Saturday, October 19: Sunny Saturday @ Rittenhouse Square


Well, this morning, I woke up at the Dorchester at decided that I would take care of some errands while Mary went to a baby shower. I don’t reallylol
 believe

 in reproducing so my baby shower is not my kind of event.  Maybe I’m just an old crusty dude but that’s just how I feel. Anyway,
I first went back home to fetch my clean clothes

 at home and get rid of  Waitmy dirty yoga clothes. I also had breakfast and brought up a 

super coffee and a lemonade to bring back. I also ran into Pat and we talked for a 

little bit. I went to pick up my photos at the photo lounge and then I went to the frame shop 

and decided to say hell I’ll just have them make professional framing and eat 

the cost. She did sweeten the pot by offering to put up my photo of the 

church in front of her building. Maybe somebody will buy it so over and all I think 



that’s a good deal. Well, How do you say I just said it a picnic bench 

at the Dorchester because you know I had only a half hour till Mary PPP She told me she 

went back around 2:30 PM so I  waited at a picnic bench and observe 

people and stuff like that. Well, I was enjoying myself and updating yesterday‘s blog

 and writing up today’s blog. It was all nice until two different dudes. Decided

 to bring the radios and blast them from opposite sides of where I was sitting. 

They were both loud. I even went ahead and asked them to turn it down 

and they didn’t. I then saw that I only had 4% on my phone so I got up and went to the 

for Dorchester hallway and found an outlet and charged my phone up very

 soon got back to the Dorchester and went upstairs and relaxed before 

4 PM class. Mia taught the class upstairs since the downstairs 

studio was being re-sanded.. It was a good class and we enjoyed it. After that we wobble back and Mary is going to make veggie burgers and I’m gonna go get some iced teas . well, I got the iced tea very successfully. I might add and was able to get two of them. We then decided we weren’t in the mood to watch more detective shows so we end up just relaxing and talking for a while. It got

 pretty deep and then pretty silly when we heard about Donald Trump talking about 

Arnold Palmer‘s dick size for 10 minutes at one of his stupid rallies. This guy 

can’t get like these losing his goddamn mind he’s got a bunch of fascist along with him. Tomorrow is Sunday. And I plan to take a day off and see my mom and do stuff like that. Even have a soup for coffee while I’m on the 111 or 110 bus
