I’m not sure where to start? Friday night, I was on the bus back to Hoboken and I remembered that I left my camera at work! I was going to turn around but the Friday night traffic changed my mind. It’s a good thing that nothing great happened to me this weekend, ha ha. Did I say nothing great? I did buy some new shoes.

Bob’s new shoes

Comfortable? The jury is still out. Stylish? Guilty. I was supposed to meet up with my friend Sandi for dinner on Friday but we got our wires crossed. She thought we were meeting at 6 but I thought I said between 5 and 6? No matter, I sat in the park for a while and then walked home. I enjoyed a lovely burrito. It would have been nice to have a conversation but sometimes I feel like everything has already been said, ha ha.

Saturday, I got up late and watched a movie. I can’t remember what movie, isn’t that sad? After that, I took my bike out. I drove it to the bike shop to buy some new pedals. The plastic pedals that came with the bike weren’t very good. I bought some metal ones. After that, I made it up to the 14th Street pier. I love it up there. I put out calls to all my friends to see what’s up for Saturday night! Is it going to be another CRAZY night for Bobby? Every person I called, I got their machine. Everybody was away for the weekend. Damn. I’ve been here before, not a big deal. I picked up some dinner at Boston Market. Grilled chicken, a new item on the menu. I was ready to see the flames flying! The lady reached into a heated metal can, pulled out the “grilled chicken” and put it on my plate. So much for the flames. I have to say, it wasn’t that bad. I put in Monster’s Ball (very good, btw) and before I knew it, it was Sunday.

I got up early and drove to Nutley to do my laundry. There were more people there than I thought, that early. Then, I drove to Jersey City to go to the A & P. I came back home and took out my bike again. I watched this show called Monster Garage on Discovery. It was neat watching them make crazy vehicles out of normal cars. However, the show seems flawed. They have professionals building the cars, so the “can they build it” factor is zero. And then they have a challenge at the end. The professionals that built it vs. the professionals that use the bigger machines in real life. That part is really bad. It looks like it’s staged. They’re airing two more shows tonight. I’ll watch it again because I’m so fascinated with these men/women that have the skill to make something out of nothing. That should be the focus of the show, the people, not the “challenge” at the end. OK, that’s it for today. There are a lot of friends that owe me phone calls! Have a great day. God Bless America.

We will go
Nowhere we know
‘Til we find our one and all
Hand me downs
Flypaper towns
Stuck together
One and all
