10 AM: I woke up later than anticipated after a raucous evening at Bonnie's Capistrano bar. Two beers to celebrate my survival of a bat bite and subsequent rabies treatment quickly turned into a late night. Ibuprofen and water were required to get operational.

11 AM: Time to generate value for our shareholders, the true heroes. Was rudely interrupted by Meatball Man, who clearly does not share my reverence for American corporatism.

12:30 PM: Took a walk to Ultimo Coffee for some much needed caffeine. Weather was balmy.

1 PM: Trash picked a couch on my coffee run - enjoyed some time in the sun.

5:30 PM: Finally reached the end of my grind. Ate some leftover General Tso's chicken and took a walk around the neighborhood at sunset. Soaked in the sights and sounds of East Passyunk.

9:30 PM: Wednesday has come and gone once again here in beautiful South Philadelphia. Got myself ready for bed and settled down to read before lights out time. Another exciting day of spreadsheets awaits me tomorrow!
