..might i see you while in town?

it's 8:10am from rittenhouse sq park

it's 8:10am in Rittenhouse Square Park, Philadelphia.




I just returned my rental car from touring this past weekend and brought my coffee to the park on my way to the apartment. taking a moment for myself in the bustle of the early city morning, I sit on a bench, (in loving memory of Ralph Caliri) the small plaque says.



7:30am came rather early but was worth it really. got hooked up at rental place cause i ended up with a clunker, (they know me by name there), got a coffee at starbucks while hottie totally smiled at me as I start to pour the milk into my tall to go cup. he smiled again, and asked for my number after a few kind words, and flirtatious banter.

Which brings me to my seat here. SHIT! I just got attacked by 2 squirrels!! Crazy fuckers, they were chasing each other and slaked into the back of my bench. Scared the he'll out of me, almost dropped my phone!

Anyway, as I sit here. watching all these people go by. Heading to their "real jobs", I wonder. Near by a dad races to meet his little son, pedaling a big wheel, by the iron goat statue a mere 40ft away. now he spins him around by both has and laughter comes from the grassy area they now play by. I wish I had a dad like that.



my mind wonders and I think about my friends. Fred, Daniel, Nick, Jenny, and as they battle the early morning clammier heading into work, as they usually do. Especially Fred. He usually gets on my case about the late breakfast hours I keep. Ha.

so I must go start being productive. Leaving for SF on Saturday And I have so much to do. I'll meet today with Dimitri also, for some music playin.

ok well, this is good morning from Rittenhouse Square Park, and my wondering mind.
have a great day :) -aj
