Sunday, September 13: breakfast! Ashtanga and Bikram Yoga doubleheader

Good day everybody today is Sunday and for something different. We’re going to an ashtanga class. We decided to go. For this one class. We got up, went to the café and decided to get food that was quick to cook and not too heavy because you had a 2️⃣ hour Stoker class. We got our food very quickly as compared to yesterday was lightning fast because well the food was not gonna go on the griddle so to speak. Anyhow, the food is very good and we went straight from the café and we did check CVS to see if they had any Gatorade and this place didn’t have any Gatorade. I didn’t want to bring the Gatorade in the freezer and have it sit out for an hour and a half and get warm so I just said forget the Gatorade we went to Class gave ourselves. plenty of time The class started at 1 PM first gave us some background history about the ashtanga practice. Then we started the actual exercise and it started off with sun salutation and a whole rhythmic process where you would do Chaturanga downward, dog plank, etc. etc. it was quite involved. She added on a couple more things as he went along in class. It was very interesting. It kind of reminded me of the vinyasa class. They don’t teach Vinyasa because it wasn’t popular. Anyhow that class ended and loopy is very nice and we had questions for her. We then had about a 40 minute break between classes we took full advantage. We then attended Kaitlyn‘s full-fledged 90 minute class. It was a good class, but we ended up feeling pretty stiff after our muscles tightened up. It was a good class with Kaitlyn as they are. Go anytime we were there. We talked about ESA. The guy who taught his intense class. Everybody kind of gave knowing looks. It was pretty funny. I have to class. I was so thirsty and both of us were pretty tired we decided to go and get a smoothie and that was so good. We got back to the Dorchester and mellowed out for a little bit and decided then to have Indian. We found out that the owners of the restaurant are going to sell their business on October 7. I don’t think they’re making any money. So we’ll see what happens but that’s not great news. Anyway, we talked for a while and then we watched some law and order which is pretty good.

Saturday, September 5: sleep, errands, and Yoga

Good day everybody and a glorious state to sleep in till about 11:00 AM. I slept in till 10:30 AM and hit the snooze a few times. I really needed that sleep. It felt great. We got up went to the café. The service was a little slower than normal, but we got our food. It tasted really good. The guy who always sits in his seat was kind of rude, but he’s kind of really bothering so I guess we have to forgive him. Anyhow, we left the café and decided we’d do some errands first we went to the CVS. Mary got some provisions such as TP and Scripps. We then went to Philadelphia runner to see what kind of shorts they had for a two for one sale. Yes they had a two for one sale at Philadelphia runner. We found some Nike shorts that were 60 bucks each I was able to buy 2️⃣ of them for 60 which is a lot more palatable than buying one pair for $60. They even had this Patagonia shorts that were $95 each. Holy shit I was never going to pay that much for shorts. Anyhow, we got the 2️⃣ pairs of shorts which are black and looked pretty good. They all have this in her underwear. I guess to keep your package in place. I actually came in handy during class. Anyway, went to Class and Miah taught the class and we both really like her as a instructor. And she’s back to doing Saturday at 4 PM which is great. Today wasn’t as humid so it was a lot more bearable with the heat. We had two new people bail out during class cause it was too hot. I remember those those days in March 2019 when I first joined the studio holy shit I was gasping. Anyhow, after class we left around 6 PM and came back and I drank 2️⃣ glasses of green smoothie and a glass of iced tea to satiate my thirst. We then decided to order dinner a little early so we could watch the movie the good bad and the ugly which is supposed to be a classic spaghetti western starring Clint Eastwood. It’s a third of a trilogy which starts with a fistful of dollars. Anyway, it’s a 10 PM and we’re gonna get dinner and I’m bringing it back.

Sunday, August 16: Rest & Paperwork

Well, today was a very unusual dad. I didn’t do much of anything and that was good. Mary thought so as well. We just got some mundane stuff done like laundry and paperwork and the rest of the time we ate breakfast and mellow out for the day. I don’t think I took very many pictures at all. We discussed some matters and we are planning to go to Boston in a month from now to watch the Cubs play the Red Sox. We then had some pasta and watched a couple episodes of Law and order date really changed things up in season 18. Fred Thompson‘s gone and McCoy got a promotion.

Sunday, July 19: Cleaning at Millbourne. World Cup. Schuylkill River Trail.

Well this morning I got up a little bit early around 9:30 AM to get back to Melbourne to meet the cleaning lady who came by this morning. I was going to  catch the 21 bus but then the bus vaporized right in front of me. I mean the sign said it was coming in two minutes and next thing you know it’s at 12 minutes so I had to catch the last-minute Uber out to Millbourne. Pat was not home. I then wrote a check for August and left it out for the date of August 1 in case I don’t go back to Millbourne before then and he’ll have to run out and grab me at Mike’s for a check. I then took a slight nap and walked outside and noticed how nice it was outside. It’s not boiling hot. The air isn’t brown and orange. I then decided well. Maybe I’ll go to Starbucks and lo and behold. Mary wanted me to pick her up something as well from Starbucks so that was good. I think today we’re just gonna take a break from Yoga since we’ve gone every day since we got back from Long Beach Island, which is only a week ago believe it or not. Well, I went to Starbucks got each of us coffee. I got a iced coffee and Mary got a cold brew. We went back and watched the World Cup game and picked up laundry. Believe it or not it’s extra time and it’s 0–0 between Argentina and Spain. Staying Spain is completely dominated this game with 11 shots on goal. They Argentina goalie made the most sales ever in World Cup history. It’s now 5:42 PM and there’s a second half of extra time right now. Well Spain held on to win and they really deserved it because he completely dominated.  They had something like 17 shots in the Argentine goalie made 11 saves the most World Cup history but I was rooting for Spain and I’m glad Spain won because Trump was voting for Argentina And that’s that  we decided we would take a walk in the school River Trail. It was a nice day. It wasn’t hot and we had good air. That was that was good. It was nice to be outside and get 10,000 steps in without having to go to Yoga. It is very pretty outside. I got a lot of nice video in there of the sites and sounds of the school River Trail. I walked out in a while. Then we decide we get Indian cause it’s getting late. It’s 9:25 PM and I’m just getting the food now. well, we got the food and we watched the movie Philadelphia with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. I had seen it before but it was a trip scene some of the technology that was around in 1992 when the film was recorded. I remember when I’m being taped because my friend worked at the Wilma Theatre and would see film cruise in the city all the time. It was the Wilma theater when it was its own little building not shoved in the good karma coffee on broad. Anyhow, we both enjoyed our Indian food and a nice weather. Well, tomorrow starts another week of fun in the sun &
Work. We’re also gonna go to Yoga and Mike has an appointment way out in West Philly because Penn just randomly rescheduled his stuff from downtown to West Philly for whatever reason and more powerless to stop it.
