Happy Mother's Day!! (My four year old says)
I drove for Rideshare and took a few people to get their vaccines and had the best conversations. One of my clients was from China and we talked about traveling, including Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Korea. Get this, you can be fined for chewing gum in Singapore and an officer will show up to your door with a ticket. The country prides itself in the fact that women and children can safely walk the streets after 10pm.
Another client was a couple who said they met as neighbors many years ago. hey were on their way to pick up their car from a place called the 280 station. I also house sat for my sister who went to Michigan to see my Nephew's baseball game.
This week I talked to some writers about 'What the Health' a documentary on Netflix. Its a documentary on Netflix that discussed the link between diet and disease.
Lastly, I did some sketch comedy with a group and it was real fun coming up with sketches and expanding on them at the Writer's table.

, Rachel Howzell Hall's brilliant stand-
I used to travel for business and knew that about Singapore. They also have some archaic forms of punishment.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you, hope it's a great one.
Yes, I'd like to learn more about those archaic forms Karen, if only to hope they'd change.
DeleteSketch comedy sounds fun! Happy reading. :-)
ReplyDeleteI bet you learn a lot from those you drive places.
ReplyDeleteI was completely shocked when I walked through a pharmacy this week. There is the place in the store where you pick up prescriptions, of course, but there is also a complete aisle of candy (!) and another of wine (!). Crazy!
yes, there is a comedian who makes a joke about the pharmacy and how it has an aisle for the life cycle, including baby diapers and beer:)
DeleteI so love all your antics on the people that you drive around. You should make your own driver show or something.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week and safe travels!
You have such great conversations with your clients. That must be fun.
ReplyDeleteThey All Fall Down looks like a really good book.
I hope you have a great week!
My clients are great. Another one of my favorite was a basketball player and I spoke with his mom about traveling with your mom during tournaments.
DeleteThey should be proud that women and children can safely walk the streets after 10pm. It’s disappointing that the same isn’t possible here.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
I chew gum all the time because I'm thirsty all the time due to diabetes. That would suck to get fined for it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you met some fascinating people and how interesting to hear about people's lives. That's crazy about the gum but I see enough gum on sidewalks and other places that I can kind of understand it! I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat's wild about getting ticketed for chewing gum!
ReplyDeleteYour rideshare driving sounds like a great way to connect with interesting people. I also loved riding with Lyft for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to getting back to it!
They All Fall Down looks so good! Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
It's a good service.
DeleteOh, I bet you've met some really interesting people driving! And way to go taking so many pictures! I go weeks with no pictures of anything.... I'll be interested to see what you think of They All Fall Down. I read it for a book club a couple months ago. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky. Here's hoping
