Saturday, August 24: A date, Hospital Visit, and Beginning of Change in 2 Years.

Well I got up and for moment I thought it was Friday morning. I got up around 8:30 AM 

 id my serial breakfast thing. By the way I do need to buy more cereal. I was  listening 

 o Bill Moore when would be 10 minutes late to the meeting. It’s funny on 

Google Maps you can figure out an earlier bus time and that’s how I knew the 49 I 

 ean to go to 15th St. to catch the 33 and get to Fairmount at 10:02  instead  of 10:15 AM. Meeting was good. The 

 eather is absolutely perfect today low humidity lots of sunshine and mild but not hot. I can wear a long sleeve shirt, which I’m 

 oing right now, and it feels comfortable. Well I took city scenes in Paramount and did some videotaping. I then tried to call my friend and she was not available for the phone but she did get my text messages

 and she said I looked handsome so maybe I’m ready for the date. I am meeting at a coffee shop  in Bala-Cynwyd so I have to finish the coffee I got now well the bus showed up on time and it gave me about a half

 hour leeway to find a place and get rid of the old coffee and drink something

 beside coffee. Anyhow we decided to go to Starbucks because it was

 pretty close by car. It was outdoor seating is very pleasant the sun 

 aking in big time. We hung out in hour and a half and very nice. I was hoping to see her again 

 ut I don’t know. Anyway, it’s done and then I decided to 65. I’m going to go home for a minute. I’m then going to visit a friend in the hospital at 

 resbyterian bring a couple magazines etc. just got off at Milburn Station I can’t believe it’s 5:43 PM already. Anyhow it’s not  blazing hot anymore very comfortable again. Feels like fall is around the 

 orner my kind of day. I met a nice person didn’t turn out exactly where

 I wanted but that’s life in the big city but it wasn’t a negative experience that’s http://mkrull.blogspot.com/2019/08/self-promotion-meetings-really.html?m=1

 or sure. Got myself a Pepsi and I’m going to warm up a frozen Kati

 sandwich and charge my phone for a bit. Actually got a few matches on Tinder, which is a first in many months are gonna to roll



 with this because that’s how it goes......... so I eventually went To Presbyterian Hospital go see a friend of mine. I got there a little after six can I speak to about 8 PM he was in good 



 pirits. It was a pleasant visit my family very nice to burn brush. There wasn’t a 

 retentious bunch in them. I was just staring at them either. I’m think you’ll get 
 ut and left in a week you want to go to the shore sometime. Again that Labor Day. Well after I visited Murray I came home and decided I would buy some food so I went t Kababish and the Indian store to get some food. I got a lot of food is good to buy that food. And then talk to Wes and he wants me to go to the mankind weekend sometime in September. I’ll try it out but it’s $350 for my half West was willing to pay half of it for me. I said I try it out. But $300 it’s a little much for me I think 

Wednesday, September 7: Massage and A Morning in Ardmore

I woke up on a beautiful day in Ardmore Pennsylvania. We went out to breakfast had to find a little breakfast place near her place. We then took the 44 bus. She

what I needed for my back. The woman who did my massage was a trip this evening.  She talked

about the story about that kid who was murdered 20 years ago in Minnesota. She was upset by it

because she lived 20 miles away from it when the kid was abducted. She was 19 years old living in

Minnesota at that time

Next, she talked about some creepy dude in West Philly that's been   stalking schools and

playgrounds. It was a weird juxtaposition having a really nice massage and having all this funky negative talk. OK no sleepover tonight. I now need to go to my

Transition Saturday November 23

8:37 AM

After staying up late watching the show Law and Order, I arose and had a little breakfast and finished up my blog from yesterday. I was late for the men's at the Ethical Society. Rob was not able to get up and get going so I went by myself.  I did see Mike there and it was sure packed. Afterwards I hung out with a few dudes and then went from 20th St. 3rd and Arch to meet Larry at Starbucks for coffee. We did the 10 at 10:30 which was cool. Afterwards Larry had to go off to Jersey and I had to do and errand at City Line Avenue.

Stay Tuned

While going to TD Bank I had to answer nature's call. In order to get a bathroom I needed to get a key from an employee of Mickey D's.

Hung out here for Coffee

I then bought some McNuggets just to get a key (A 6 piece which they only put 4 in) and of course the guy in front of me decided to live in there. Apparently the 44 bus was running slow so I needed to get the 38 bus. The newfangled SEPTA

app showed there's

At Rachel's

only two buses running. I caught the 38 which was one time at 12:30! I got to my ended location around 1:05 PM

Well  there was change of plans so I took the 44 bus( after a 45 minute wait) to Center City and looked into buying a printer that can print my phone photos! Well, I met with Rob, got his

 phone card

Took it TWICE Yesterday!

and looked at the Apple store, springboard media, and Staples for printers. Staples recommended the $150 HP,the Apple Store  only had one type which was an Epson but they recommended the Brother. Springboard media

only had one and I think that one I don't remember they just give me a list of top 10

printers range from $150 to $1,000 I'll guess I'm on my own. I then split off from Rob. I visited Pat's and we split a large pizza that Pasqually's.  We both agreed it was very tasty. I then had to beat a hasty retreat to get ready for my

                      4:46 pm                                                       home to get myself showered shaved and changed for my 

Riding the 38 Busdate. I took the train to Melrose Park and I was picked up and we went to a little restaurant off of

Germantown Avenue.

Nice Date in Germantown

Food was really good and is reasonably priced place. After dinner we went to the Starbucks nearby the Noble train station and hung around and made each other laugh. Next we went to the Melrose Park train station and waited for the 11:20 train. It was cold as anything so we waited in her car next to the station. I went

on the train and ALMOST overslept past 30th Street Station. Man THAT would have really sucked to be out in the frigid cold trying to get back to Philly past midnight on a Saturday on SEPTA! 

When I got home

Rob Mike and I chatted and then Robin I watched three or four episodes of Law and order on Netflix. The boxes worth of I just watch a few lawn order episodes maybe some Simpsons. A busy yet at the end it was a really really good day!
