Saturday, March 16: NJ Errand, Zipcar and Yoga

Good day everybody today I woke up in Center City and and had a nice

 breakfast with Mary. I had cereal and coffee. Good thing I had coffee because I didn’t 

have time to get any. I walked down to the parking lot at 1319 Locust

 St. and picked up the zip to get to Millville to pick up Carolyne so we could go to 

New Jersey MVC and get replacement title and registration.I 

made good time on the account and drove down with no problems then I picked

 her up and we had to Cherry Hill with the Jersey MVX was. This 

bureaucratic office located in Cherry Helena office campus and winding road to 

get there. Once we got to the place, we went to the Front Desk who made

 sure we had her basic paperwork. Then we went to another one went to the receptionist who was 



very nice and helped us fill out forms and make sure we had all the ID so 

he was very nice and we waited about 20 minutes and, we were

 in the process. The information was pretty much just quietly just did her thing on 

the computer because all the paperwork was already inspected so she 

didn’t have to ask us anything. It was actually more fishing

 than I thought it would be. We then left there around 12:30 and it only took 10 minutes to get Walter Rand 

Transportation Center, Camden place to go all the time 15 years 

ago or so. We went there and we were able to get her on the 1 o’clock bus. She only had to pay two bucks because she was a senior which was pretty cool actually. 

Then headed out towards Philly from Camden I was always glad to move. Leave Camden quickly. It’s always a good thing to do. Once I left Camden

 I drove down to Locust Street where the parking lot was where I was going to return the car. I returned the car and
hopped on the train and, got back home 

to get my yoga clothes. I wasn’t shocked because I realized I had the keys of the car in my pocket so I had to quickly pack everything up throughout the old clothes

 and dirty clothes hamper and then run back to the train and get back to 13th and Locust to return the car. I called Zipcar and told them about it and return the keys, found 



out the car had a parking ticket from February 27. Registration was not updated or something. I then wobble down Luca Street saw the St. Patrick’s Day 

revelers and there was a ton of them. I mean a shit ton of people out for St. Patrick’s 

Day. There was a nice day and it was time for people to drink. I eventually

 got to Mary‘s place and we hung out a little bit and then we headede to the

 4 PM class. We got there a little earlier than we have normally 

which the class was packed with about 36 people I heard. It was a good class

 enough air so that was good, went back to Mary’s and watched

 a really great film called. “ Searching for Sugarman.“ it had great cinematography


and was based on a true story about it unknown American singer songwriter

 who is really popular in South Africa in the 70s. it was quite a busy day, but 

that’s for sure. It was interesting seeing Millville again since I 
haven’t been there in a while. Also went to part of Millville that I didn’t visit that much. It’s fairly close 

to the wealthy section of Millville called Union Lake. that’s where the tennis club was that I was a member

 of at one point was the most improved tennis player in 2007 and I have a plaque somewhere in my house proving that. Mary and I went to a place that used to be called Square on Square and they changed their name and their menu as you can see in the picture. It’s too bad I like the old menu but they’re a couple things that I could eat there.

Saturday, May 13: A Trip to Peace Valley on a Cloudy ☁️ Day

I walked this morning at around 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM. I looked



 outside and it’s not for the rain. We didn’t have to keep changing our plans and I was gonna do it because I canceled the rental car and I tried the Rent-A-Car same day with 
my $99 coupon doing they only had like 5

 cars available at the airport. One of them was an electrical car and then I didn’t wanna deal with that whole electronic charging bullshit. I then had to tell Pat I couldn’t watch his dog anyway I was really hungry so 

on the way to Ardmore, I got myself a chipotle wrap and that really hit the spot because I suddenly got really hungry even though I ate when I was home. 3:20 PM work just leaving to go up to New Britain and do paddle boating .  The rain is stopped so that’s good. Anyhow,

 after our discussion, we got going towards peace Valley there’s no direct way to get here. It’s a big winding loop through Montgomery County then through Bucks.  Went passed  the New Britain train station. I would say it’s about 15 minutes from the train station I kind of 

want to see if it’s any way possible to get here not buy driving in renting a car but but taking the SEPTA train. Yes, it is the weekend, so probably Brent only every hour but I can deal with that. I also wanna know if Uber and take

 out that way it’s not 436 there’s probably no way I can get the car back by 6:30 PM since it took so long for us to get Going but oh well it’s only money you know at least it’s not raining here 

in old peace Valley. Well, we got the peace Valley but we couldn’t 

do the paddle boats because the last boat launch was 4:30 PM. We got there at 4:45 PM. That’s the way it is. so 



we took a walk and it’s very pretty scenery up there but there’s no real quick way to 

get there. You should have to wind around. I’m still glad we didn’t do Jim Thorpe. That’s double the time up and back. We drove back and compare Taylor Swift to Debbie Gibson and they’re both Pop stars 
but it was pointed out to me that they’re very different. The swift came from a good family. Anyway, I got to 60th  and Locust just in time for the extended 7:30 PM drop off.

So now I’m just gonna walk home from here. I was hoping to get home before


sunset, and I will do that barely I was thinking maybe going to West philly but I just don’t have
the Earth to do it right now nor the merriment. I’m very tired. I’m gonna have some grapes and fall asleep. Think I’ll eat first. Anyhow, I did drop off the car and when I walked out

 at 60th and Locust I saw a very nice looking sunset developing. As I walked I took a bunch of pictures of the sunset because it looked really cool. It was like

 I was in a vacation paradise of some sort. I walked back and it wasn’t that difficult. It didn’t rain which was cool.  It wasn’t very hot either. And I like 
the fact that it wasn’t very hot and the rain didn’t start. I thought it was really good. And anyhow, I did eat the rest of the grapes, which
were very delicious , I was pretty hungry 

so I made SEPTA some pasta and that was tasty. I also talked on the phone with a couple of people. I don’t struggles but overall things are OK.
