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
