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 really
 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
