Sunday, November 19: A Lazy Day in the Sun

Well I woke up at Pats this morning and slowly made my way towards fair 

 mount. Pat was starting his guitar and it was a pretty quiet morning. I went to the Ryebread 
 or the first time since they moved away from 23rd St. to be at 17t
h and Fairmount. The place was full of young people and it was definitely sporting a
 renovated look. At the same time my friend Jenn got up really
 early to run in Philadelphia marathon today. She took some pictures of the crowd
 as they were starting the 26.2 miles that a marathon is. Anyway I was going to chill
 out there for a while and then I got a call from Pat that he didn’t mean 
 eed me to come over cause he locked himself  

out of his car which means you lock them self out of the apartment I mean his place. By time I got there everything was cool and we just ended up hanging out

Monday, May 15: Work and Getting Ready to Leave for Canada

 Well I got up this morning getting ready to pack. I gather all my clothes  and lo and behold I could not find my suitcase. The thing is gigantic and large and I don't  know   here the hell I could've stopped it. I mean I know I didn't take it to  the basement so I'm hoping maybe Sharon can find it because she's pretty good at finding stuff.    did put my passport in prescriptions in  my backpack. And I left my clothes folded and piled up so whatever I decide to carry their   t least they are folded. I was hoping to have time to be able to go to target or Ross  supermarket and quickly grab a bag. I'm not so sure if that's realistic since it's the middle   f rush hour. Today was funny. When I went to catch the bus I jumped on the first bus and   ealized I had left my coffee. I tried to get the bus to stop but it didn't.  I caught a bus   bout five minutes later. I wasn't doctor being late which was cool. Basely snack through lunch. I had two bananas and some chips for lunch!    think today was one of my more productive days at work. I  felt more calm than I have in a while. I took care of some business and wrote up 3 sanctions! I left with only  14 alerts left. Dig this! Sharon took about 2 minutes to find my duffel bag that I have. It was stuffed in a laundry basket but I didn't see it this morning.  She couldn't believe  she found it so fast. Sharon was  a really good mood when I left. She felt like I hadn't talk to her in 3 days.  
Well I was either in the emergency room was hanging out with Pat or Larry or ogoing to a meeting. It'll be nice to just to sit on the bus and not do much of anything. I'm at the terminal right now. I bought my tickets at the will call which is basically the kiosk. I have 18 page of tickets. I went and got some vegetable lo mein and a nearby Chinese restaurant. It didn't look like the finest food but it has to be better than the Greyhound food court. So it's it's a nice day to launch a trip it's not too hot not too cold. It's now 6:45 PM. I have about 15 minutes to really eat before I start having to go in a line. My trip starting here I go to New York City and then my next stop might be Syracuse.I'll be up for a while between playing on the phone and taking vantage of the fact that I still have American Internet access for a while. It's now 7:30 PM we are getting on a Bieber bus because greyhound sold out of the New York City buses and contracts out with Bieber. Well that Bieber bus driver drove us pretty fast to New York. We got there in less than two hours. It's now 10:01 PM and I'm just walking around the area of the Port Authority bus terminal. The next bus I catch leaves at 10:45 from gate 22. That same bus will take me all the way  We're just leaving from New York City and his bus go straight to Buffalo. At that point we change buses in Buffalo to go to Toronto I got a seat in the front of the bus. The bus is packed. I'm gonna listen to Dire Straits this bus is very warm as well. It's now 10:54 PM we will arrive in Buffalo around 5:30 AM.

Monday, May 8: Cool Start and a Beautiful Sky

 I woke up before the alarm this morning around 7:25 AM. 
Decided that I would put a video on YouTube. Well I found out that I was running out of room on my phone. I went ahead and deleted about 70% of the videos I had on the phone. The kind of fun at the time but they quite useless in the long run. I also was editing and making finishing touches to yesterday's blog posting  That went pretty well. Dropbox is still syncing my back up as of this morning. It's been approximately 24 hours since I started the process yesterday. Well I kind of slept walk to the morning cleared a couple things out and now I really have to get serious and write up some packets.
it's now 11:37 AM I got lunch now I'm at the  bear down and write some packets up. I got a congratulations on finding my coat. Well I went  ahead and select along at work. I managed to write up three sections. But I had four but I   iscovered the one person was working and had reported it. I was left alone and that   as a good thing. I didn't get too many phone calls. I noticed   eople in public who have spouses or husbands like to sort of brag about it in public it's very funny.   Well least they do on theEL it's mostly people under 35 for all people under 35 none of them are my age of course. This is when I noticed even those statistics   are saying that less young people are getting married. I  don't see that. Anyhow Igot off the EL and Spring Garden and decided I'd go to the hipster  coffee shop at 3rd between their Fairmount and Spring Garden. I got a   large deca since the decaf Americano is extremely expensive. I think it was   pproximately $4.65. That's how much a frappe at Chino is at Starbucks except for when they have their  half-price happy hours. It's now 6:21 PM I managed to get number  30 on the list. Since I last went in a group meetings about a year or so ago they got rid of tables   nd we sit in the rows of chairs. So I'm sitting here and I'm gonna drink my coffee black out and kill 40 minutes. You have to shop early   o get Pay loan number. Because there certain ones I want to pick that are more convenient since if people don't go I have to fill in the slots.decided to browse the news and I read a very good article in the New York Times while waiting I decided to check out the news. I like Paul Krugman's  article about the  Republicans  Orwellian dishonesty and double speak of what's in the Republican healthcare bill passed by the house. It is an unmitigated disaster the bill.   t's a nice fat tax cuts for the rich! Nothing Republicans like more the tax cuts for the   eally rich. Who else is funding their campaigns. The story about the Penn State student who died in his fraternity house is really disturbing. They just let him die!  YIKES!!😡😞
Meeting went pretty well I got my 3 commitments.It  went all right even if I didn't know that many people.. They got rid of the tables just had rows of chairs which was different than when I last went. The meeting lasted a little bit after 8 PM.Then luckily, the 43 just in time. I made a big difference in how long it took me to get home. I then ate some leftovers and watched YouTube videos of Last week tonight. He talked about net neutrality 
e leftovers and went upstairs to hibernate and talked on the phone for about an hour and finally went to bed. Reason to download to kick in so long is their dropbox downloading the movies last in the movies are obviously the biggest files I have.
