Felt like a Retiree Today

Since Lee haad to go to school today I woke up at my usual time.  I surfed the web from about 7 AM - 9 AM.  At that time I drove out to Hempstead Lake State Park and took a hike listening to a recording of the last Saturday Night Oldies.  Since I got home from the Mets game at 8:45, I missed the first 2 Hr 45 min of the show.  Mark Simone interviewed Larry Kane, a TV journalist from Philadelphia who talked about the Beatles and John Lennon in particular.  Larry was promoting his book Lennon Revealed.  I left that park and drove to the Bay Terrace Shopping Center in Bayside.  The Gap didn't have jeans in my size so I went to the Barnes and Nobles to buy the book.  I stopped at Bens Deli and got my pastrami sandwich.  I then drove to nearby Crocheron Park where I ate my lunch and read the Sunday New York Times.  On the way home I stopped for gasoline which was $3.35/gallon.  At least I don't drive to work.  I was grateful that I didn't have to deal with the workplace today.
