Think I am way more exhausted than I realized from yesterday’s 12+ mile excursions. The bag I hauled on my shoulder was quite heavy compared to my usual freight. I like the bag but I might have outgrown it, as carrying a dslr and tablet and an extra lens is just not what it’s designed for.<\/p>\n
A Costco run was needed, and taxes had to be mailed. Quarterly taxes are due in the mail today. I had a slight panic moment when I found that none of my vouchers were filled in. This made it look like I had not paid any taxes this year, even though I was bulletproof certain that I had. Alas, it turns out that for some reason I had 2 sets of vouchers printed, and the other set showed that I had noted payment remittance and check numbers for the year’s previous 2 payments. Not a major scare but enough to remind me of the possibility that one unexpected mega bill, a random penalty or fine, or something out of nowhere could sink me.<\/p>\n
Scheduled some decent stuff for .NYC. Feels like some momentum is gathering. Had an amiable e-mail exchange with one of the lesser affiliate advertising companies I use. And an unexpected payment from another. I’ve been so accustomed to be treated like dirt by AdSense that getting an actual human response and interaction from a similar company is kind of jarring.<\/p>\n

Guess I never sent the above paragraphs from yesterday.<\/p>\n
The search for the new columbarium at Calvary ended with puzzlement. I know New Calvary far less well than Old. I was starting to think the new Columbarium did not really exist, as I had seen only a drawing of the structure on the cemetery web site. It was said to be at Laurel Hill Boulevard and 49th Street, an intersection I know well enough for its old school flower and wreath shop and tombstone foundry next door to the cemetery grounds.<\/p>\n
The flower and wreath shop is notable to me for its old signage using an old telephone exchange name formatted phone number, with the STillwell exchange.<\/p>\n
Present at this intersection is the cemetery office, which I have neve entered.<\/p>\n
Long story short I couldn’t find the columbarium, and later learned that it is actually way over at Section 43, an area where I now remember seeing construction activity a few years ago. I thought the activity was related to the highway overpass.<\/p>\n
So I’ll go find it another day. Probably not tomorrow as I intend to resume the public spaces inhabitations.<\/p>\n
I spotted the grave of a 9\/11 firefighter who perished that day. The other night I started listening to the Howard Stern Radio Show from that day. It was absolutely the best coverage of the events, coming from a source that would seem unlikely. Listening to it again it became clearer how smart and experienced a media player Stern really is. I’m not a Stern fan any more but I was for a while. I really appreciate the way they sound engineer that show.<\/p>\n
Back at the ghetto coffeeshop. Nobody bothers me here. I like that. This feels like a place that would get robbed. Come to think of it I think I read that it did get robbed a couple of months ago.<\/p>\n
Great time last night at home with an old friend. I announced I am on the austerity plan until further notice so steaks and beers were on him and we stayed away from paying overpriced bar rates. In no good mood for bars lately, for a lot of good reasons.<\/p>\n
All kinds of tired from the past few days spent walking so far. A good kind of tired, though.<\/p>\n
