Near the Meeting

loop during A detour. It worked pretty well and I only showed up about 15 minutes late. The meeting

Cool Little Spot

was only for an hour even though the Facebook said 2 hours. I left the meeting and took some interesting

Movie Posters at Cini Mug

pictures of the area near Tasker. I then got off at the Broad Street line at Fairmount Avenue. Right at this intersection there is the Devine

Fairmunt Stration

Lorraine Hotel. They're actually looking for people

Project Home

to rent there in the Fall. Apparently it's gonna be apartments not condos. So I ended up meeting

This is Next Weekend!

Meg at in front of the bishops. She had caught the 48 from Center City after  she got off the 44 bus. We went  back to my place and

Typical OCF

 she met Sharon which was really nice. She saw my room and then we hung out for a bit and decided

what we wanted to do. It was nice. We then went to the OC F coffee house and had a bite to eat there.

Meg

Went back to my place and decided that we would rent a ca and walk the web really moving in together.

Dinner at the OCF

That would get rid of that sure and I would also pick up my photographs from the gallery. I'll let the

Street and went to a nice little store and got got a couple fun items.. After that we went to the gallery

Last Day of Exhibit

and it was 5:09 PM so I was glad I didn't have to wait until 5:30 PM to pick up my photographs from

Comcast Tower in Back

Da Vinci. I gathered up the photos and then we then drove towards Jefferson Station so she could

catch the train. You just missed the 44 but which was her preference I return the rental and I will then have to be downtown again at 7 PM to help make the coffee for

My Rental

the 60 minutes. When I showed up

Driving

at the 60 minutes, I did the set up and then discovered that there was no coffee. The coffee had been

20th Street

stolen. I did run over to 711 and bought 3 small bags of generic coffee for $17. It was cool though.

Emergancy Coffee at 7-11

I was reimbursed at the business meeting right away. I appreciate it. I'm caring next month so that means I have to find some speakers. Well at least I have to find a speaker

Going to 50th and Hazel

the last time of the day I was told to watch out for poop that was scattered on the floor fairly close

Chestnut Street

to my desk. It turned out that somebody had some really bad stomach illness and couldn't make it to

More Flowers

the ladies room on time. The smell permeated The CDU area of course I had to document

Walking the Dogs

The math for posterity. I did manage to complete my alarm. Next week I have to go back to my

Old Homestead @ 49th

calendar and run through all the people who didn't show up to   appointments. That's fairly time-consuming.

One Step at a Time

I would say take me aproximately two hours to do that. Of course I dream of writing up a sanction  packet

21 Again

or 2 just to keep them off my back. Well, I took the 21 by the 15th and Chestnut and walked up to 50 and

Treats for a Hot Day

movie where the pilots took off on the wrong runway and hit construction equipment and 87 people died. This happened in Thailand. I literally fell sleep sitting up and then both of us agreed to crash for an hour. Of course that hour turned into 2 1/2 hours. I then talked on the phone and then went back to bed in a happy place.

Saturday, August 27: A Day Off!! I Venture to Da Vinci and the Red Hook

Ye Olde West Philly

Walking to Mike's

Meg for a while and that was nice. I'm going to get together tomorrow. Pat and I took his bag of change 

to the coin machine at the fresh grocer at 40th St. I waited in line at the cashier line then I went to the 

customer service line was told to go to the check cashing place located in the store near the entrance. Pat got 90 bucks that'll be good for his date tonight and he paid me back. Next we walked up towards

Mike's Wife

Mike Fixing His Place

Mike's place at 48th and Cedar Street. I haven't seen Mike or his wife in many a moon that's for sure. 

We hung out. Pat is doing work for Mike. He's helping Mike clean up the third floor of the place so he can rent it out for anywhere from $800 to $1200. I don't think Mike or I are up for purchasing the house from him and having him as our tenant. Hello I don't left bike and walk the puppies for a nice long  

Mike's 

catch it so I kept walking. It was a good thing too because I stop by the 2nd mile center and out of the 

four pairs of shorts one of them fit me perfectly. So now I'm in a nice pair of shorts and not completely 

steaming up. I got off the L at 40th St. where there is a funky ass crowd  hanging around. I think

got off at eight street and quickly caught a cab to eight and Catherine. From there I walked and met up with my 2 friends at the gallery.

Approaching Da Vinci

We had a nice time and they like my pictures named Joy the exhibit itself. We then went to whole foods. Saturday at sample day. You can sample good that they sell. I have some

whole-grain waffle and a ginger lemonade. I'm sure they're both very good and overpriced.

Cool Building Near South St

From there I tried to split with them because they were heading towards 18th and I needed to

South Street

get back towards Da Vinci. I ended up stopping at Starbucks and recharging my phone and doing a
