I  then went to work and found myself swamped with clients because I was on the board and finally finished at 2:30 I am now right aid getting food and something clinching my thirst my and some soup probably. After work I am going to the post office  to help out Pat.  I did get the package which turned out to be a 25lb acoustic guitar amp. I toted it via the 42 bus and walked it from Spruce ST to Ranstead which is one half

Chillin on 19th near Ranstead

block from Market Street. I was not too hot but I was smelly. While at Pat's, we watched Cheech and Chong's "Up in Smoke". You know, I missed the fact that it was a parody of the punk rock scene as well as a parody of the stoner culture that was going on strong in 1978. I am old enough to remember that stuff.

 I'll got I got to call the Dean's lawyer and

social worker today about when he gets outta jail. As my daily message says, I will create my own luck. First off I will be at sunrise and get my coffee at Saxby's , 

that's right signing off

Saturday: THIS IS SPRING!!!

 Hello!! How are you?? Glad it's a fine day out!! I decided not to go downtown for the men's meeting. I met Pat for coffee at Earth Cup instead since I was feeling mellow.

Nice Folks

It's been awhile since I have gone to meet him. There is a block clean up today started at 10am. Before I moved to Millville, I did community stuff like this. There is a Barkan Park clean up as well today! It's like my old life saying
My brother is a funny guy!!

This Morning from Kitchen

My take on his questions  Dean is to let me know when he gets out he has a Caseworker at Community Council named J. I called him at . Dean had to let the Caseworker know he had a place to stay. I was hoping  to visit Drew on his job at 17 Th and Walnut. As you see, I was happily busy:)

Pat's Updated Sketch

After going to the Earth Cup, Pat and I walked his two dogs. It was a nice time and the sun was shining!! My friend in Baltimore call during our walk. She moved out from under that FREAK she was staying with. The verbal religious B.S she endured this week was the last straw! I helped with the Sansom Street cleanup on my block. I prepared pasta with red clam sauce for the potluck that is across the street.

Potluck with Neighbors

I wanted t go to the Barain park cleanup after I had lunch with the neighbors but I had such a nice time with the folks at my neighbors house. For the fist time in long time, I wanted to be a homeowner.

Cleaning Up My Block

The potluck was delicious. The folks were cool and easygoing. I think get involved w the neighbors. I learned that Jon Voigt is the father of Angelina Jolie and they have been estranged for 10 years. Mr. Voigt has been into crazy caused before he became a red-meat Republican. He was into protecting Pygmy's and then Ultra-Orthodox Jews.

At Earth Cup

Hooray for Saturday Mail!!

I may just go ahead and
Said farewell to my neighbors around 4:30. I them went to Pat's and I took some pictures of a sketch of a Filipino woman. We took a very brisk walk to café to get a gift for his woman friend of the laundromat. I've been going back-and-forth with Drew and Larry. Drew is going to heaven after

Dinner

a good day at work and Larry is smoking a cigar. I suppose I will go home and shower after dinner at Pat's doing later since has personal items to take care of like bills and junk. it's been a beautiful Spring day. Indeed, this is Spring as God intended. 10:30pm
Its time to sign off for now.
