missed connections
how was your weekend?
mine
was pretty good
tho
there were some glitches
Saturday
I had planned to go with my sister
to
'meet'
a cat
I thought
I might
if the
connection
was there
adopt
huh?
what do I mean
by
connection?
Let me explain
we have had 4 cats in our lives
four times
a cat
has
chosen
me
animal lovers
know
how that works
well
in the end
I didn't get to meet him
there were some glitches
that may still get resolved
we'll see
Sunday
I went to meet my friends Judy and Larry for brunch
I took the subway
which
should
have
taken
all of 10-15 minutes
to get from 79th Street to 50th Street
but
of course
it didn't
I got to the station
just as a train
was leaving
another missed connection
the sign said
next local
would
be
along
in
12 minutes
after 7 minutes
an announcement
advised
we stand back from the edge of the platform the train was not stopping
the next train
would be along
in 6 minutes
I ended up exiting at 50th Street at 12:30
walked quickly to the restaurant
only
to
find
no one
there
just then
my phone beeped
two missed calls and a text from Judy
she was lost
had the wrong address
where was I?
turned out
she was only a block away
now it was 12:45
no sign of Larry
our reservation was for 12:30
Judy
texted and called
finally
he texted back
he wasn't feeling well
he had emailed her
to say
he wasn't coming
she hadn't gotten the email
more missed connections
anyway
we decided to have brunch
after
I walked
uptown
to the Flea Market
before
heading home
to
Toonman
who has a terrible cold
germs
he shared
I am now fighting
I hope
your
weekend
was more fulfilling
thanks coming along
