Bus wait 12/16


Bus wait 12/16, originally uploaded by ujima.

In Kohl's ,Acme, Rite Aid people came up to say they'd seen me on the news yesterday and agreed with what I had to say about the Phillies trading Lee. They laughed about my t-shirt remark. (They can't trade him. I have three Lee tees!) None wanted to pay the $1 fee for an autograph.
36º, not the best temperature in which to wait for a bus.

A Good Day


A Good Day, originally uploaded by ujima.

Good day in town on Tuesday: early member reservations for Picasso exhibit arranged, got my tickets etc. for the Cali trip, interviewed by Ch. 6 about Halladay/Lee, on TV @ noon (missed it), bought an Egg McMuffin for a homeless woman, ran into a woman I had taught in the 1960s. As Cube would say, "Today was a good day."

Bought Mom reading lights to clip on her glasses so she will read more often and more comfortably. She says they're too weird to wear! Not too weird for *me*. I like 'em!
