Friday, August 16: Flying to Buffalo and Concert

This morning I got up at 6:45 AM to get ready for my 10:02 AM flight to 

Buffalo. I didn’t really have time for breakfast. I just wanted to make sure I got to the airport two hours ahead of time. I caught the train right on time and arrived at the airport.

 The TSA pre-made the TSI line go really fast. It took me maybe five minutes to get through.I got myself a breakfast 

sandwich which really wasn’t too great and it was way over price but I have some protein. Well instead of flight leaving at 10:02. The flight is leaving at 10:43 because

 they believe in delays so American Airlines does believe in delaying flights. We also switched gates from C-20to C-22. I noticed the previous flight

 that we had that was listed on C2 2 was also delayed so I guess they’re just doing 
delays today. The AC in this waiting room 

is quite unbelievable. I tell you in the last half hour is airport is become totally crammed, but I got here at eight. It was really late now just crowded as hell here I’m going to be waiting longer than the flight. The flights going to 

be an hour and 20 minutes and I would’ve been here for almost 3 hours, still beats though. The first Harris-Trump debate will be taking place in Philadelphia at the national
Constitution center on September 10. 

They just announced the location. Right now haven’t started boarding. They’re 

having issues today. Well down 10:42 AM they’re just inspecting the plane

 to get us to launch about 45 minutes late. Let’s hear for capitalism. It’s now 12:22 PM I’m

 at the airport waiting for Kerry to pick me up and flight was late, 

but I met som nice people next to me and I made them laugh, etc. Took a quick nap and listen to Jethro Tull and Talking Heads on the way. I got picked 

up by Kerry and we dropped off her friend Alex. After we dropped off Alex, we drove out to Wegmans where we got a little 

bite to lunch. I got myself some kind of pasta salad thing in a big tub didn’t finish all of it, but it definitely cured my hunger. After that, 

I got some food banana pasta, super coffees, yogurt, etc. at the supermarket and that was good by the time we got back both of us were pretty tired. I took a nap for about 



40 minutes, but I forgot to charge my phone so I have 29% now I hope to get it up higher before we leave 4:45 PM for Chautauqua for the concert 

Melissa Estridge & the Indigo Girls. We’re going back to 1990s Pop lesbian rock baby. Kerry says it might rain so hopefully it’ll hold off long enough. Well, we 

went to the concert and there was a ton of people there the auditorium was really nicely laid out. We first took care of bathroom stuff in the women’s line was 15 to 20 minute wait so I talked on the phone for a little bit while

 waiting. We then went to our seats and we got really good seats right 

up in the front area about seven rows back. First came the indigo girls. I hadn’t

 realized they were going to be first. I was a little mixed up pretty good. They had a huge amount of band members

 and they had guys running around switching guitars after every 

single song and they play a full concert, practically by themselves. They 

got really good applause at the end so then in between concerts I decided I 

would go to The restroom. I’ve then talked to Mary while I was out there cause I didn’t 

matter if I missed this song or two. It was nice talking to her. And then went back to the concert. 

Melissa Estridge came on and her band had a very spare set, didn’t have as many
guys running around with guitars in their 

hands. They had a very animated sign language interpreter dude who was wearing a funky T-shirt. The enthusiasm grew is the concert went on and by the end people were dancing in the front area of the

 theater and man they put she put a long set and concert didn’t until , I say 11:30 PM I drove back an hour and a half home. Got home around 1 AM and I ate a 



bunch of pasta and I’m so damn hungry.  That’s one of the longest concerts. I’ve been too!! Kerry brought up a set list from the Indigo Girls social
media site. They did 18 songs. Melissa Esther did at least 12 of her songs. People got their moneys worth.

I m.       3️⃣ separate videos of today’s events because putting them all together would’ve been over 10 minutes long and that’s too long for a video and too long for my attention span or many other peoples attention span so the first one is leaving Philly. The second one is arriving at Buffalo and driving to the concert in the third one are snippets of the concert.

Tuesday, March 26: Baltimore Bridge Collapse TSA-Pre!

I got up at 7:15 AM loading my choir gear, yoga clothes, etc. and headed out. I got to Mike’s not terribly late because I caught a bus right after I

 missed one so that was good then I got the mics in about 9:11 AM. I realized 

that I left my passport at home and I have an appointment at 10:10 AM 

for my TSA screening so I can get, the upgraded TSA so I don’t have to wait in line long at the TSA it’s $78. So I had to go all the way back home grab my passport catch another train. I got to this 

place and it’s a private company running it and they do background 

checks for the FBI in one area. They have a lab to test the sex of your

 baby. The place was Rinky dink in this really  Nondescript building way off the street near independence Mall at six Street Near Washington Square. Anyhow, once 

I did get seen, the guy was very nice. He just ran my passport took a picture of me and then gave me fingerprints. Glad I came when I did cause about seven people 

came in after I did.  he took a long time to see the guy before it was a strange experience but I think I got everything done. I wait two weeks for them to send me an email that I have



 an official TSA number. You don’t get a card or anything you just have
to put in a number  Every time you book a flight and I’ve already booked the 

flight to Amsterdam so it only count for flights I guess. I found out through a friend of mine who lives in Baltimore that the Francis Scott Key Bridge was hit by tanker a little 
after 1 AM this morning.  The ENTIRE bridge collapsed!!! It was unbelievable. The whole thing just went down like a Lego. That bridge 
is part of I-695 in Baltimore

 so traffic around Baltimore is gonna be screwed up for at least a year while they figure out what happened and then


try to build a new one might even take 2 years. anyhow, I got back from Mike’s and relaxing and had lunch for a moment then I went 

out and did a couple errands for him but forgot to pick up scripts but I did get his lasagna. I’m gonna do a double today least I believe I’m

 going to. my ankles are kind of sore but you know gonna try to do that awkward pose

 which is causing me a problem. I scheduled a private lesson in 

mid April probably April 11 around 9:30 AM if it can be 

approved. They fired Ron McDaniel Romney, whatever the fuck her name is today. And I 

say go take your parachute and go to fuck away🤣😛😛😛 Limited, gag water

! Please! 😫🤨 I just heard was issued a “limited“ tag order was issued for Trump to shut his mouth in the 

stormy Daniels case. You think that's really gonna work???These judges are so differential to Trump!!! just  throw him in jail. Throw him in jail  

like every other asshole!!!!! Well, Chris’s class was very good. I got there a little extra time which was very helpful. It was humid, but there was plenty of air so it made it very

. doable I then took a super cold shower drink lots of liquids and got rest for a half hour between his class and Marie‘s Pilates class. That class was extraordinarily tough 
but the 

fact I got through it made me feel better afterwards physically and mentally. I thanked
her for the class and everything 

like that. I did get confirmation of Thursday, April 11 at 9:30 AM. I would 

be doing a private class. Next job is to schedule haircut appointment with Sharon sometime
 before I run off the Europe, speaking of which I got put in time to the agency. Anyhow, I got the choir practice about 5 to 8 minutes late. They 
just finished the warm-up so I got there
 less than 10 minutes late, so that was cool. Once again, I did not get the attendance email. I’ve been not getting them. I talked to the attendance person in the choir and she got salty about me asking her about it because I’ve asked her before so I just asked another member to send me an email and that’s how I’m gonna work it gonna choir immediately to 13th St. and CL and I was interesting after people were zombie out at least. I went home chow down like a hungry person and then put this magnesium stuff on which did help and then took melatonin and went to bed. By the way the Center city picture was taken by Mary. She’s really gotten into her photography lately and she’s pretty good too , she’s just realizing I think
