~Friday~ This morning a blind rider got on the bus at one stop. I’ve mentioned this guy before, although it’s been quite a while. The last time I mentioned him was when he didn’t take his fare ticket out of the machine after paying, and the bus driver held it out, waving it up and … Read more
~Thursday~ This morning Library Guy—who wears glasses, is usually totally silent on the bus, doesn’t make eye contact, and almost always reads, usually a magazine in his field of study—was yammering away with the lady behind me, who was the lady I mentioned a week or two ago who at that time was reading a … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was up at 5:20, left my house at 5:30, and picked up Joe at 5:45 for an airport delivery of his body to the US Airway terminal for yet another trip to Pennsylvania to address family issues. Back home, I had a quick breakfast, and brewed four cups of coffee while I made … Read more
~Tuesday~ An uneventful ride in this morning. I read The Audacity of Hope on my Kindle the entire way. Still never going to finish by Friday, but later in the day, I went ahead and requested a copy to be put on hold at the Cameron Village Library for me. That way, when I turn … Read more
~Monday~ The lady sitting in the seat on the opposite side of the bus, and one row up from me had on a multi-colored dress—deep, dark colors of swirled images. She had on dangling earrings that resembled a tiny cluster of grapes, but with each “grape” exactly matching one of the colored swirls in her dress. … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at ten today, and had old people’s food for breakfast: All-Bran, although I did add some raisins to it. Technically, I suppose, if it were real old people’s food, I would have added prunes to it. I did a mixed load of laundry today. I have always done separate colors and … Read more
~Saturday~ I slept in this morning. Glorious. Just before I left for the gym, the sky opened up, and I opened my door to find last night’s spiderweb all but destroyed. There were only two strands left, and no sign of the spider, which was the best part of all. I got soaked even with a … Read more
~Friday~ I worked from home this morning. My exterminator was scheduled to arrive some time between 8AM and 10AM, and he arrived at about 8:05. New guy. Latino. Hair poking out of top unbuttoned shirt button. About a 7 out of 10. I met Anna, Kim, and Brad at The Third Place for Friday Latte. … Read more
~Thursday~ Another one of the “Let’s Get Loud” riders was on today. I don’t think I’ve officially given this woman a name, but she talks loud and constantly. I’d never noticed her getting off at my stop before, but that’s what she did today. She walked in front of me and the back of her black … Read more
~Wednesday~ It’s not my favorite thing to start my work day off with an hour-long meeting right when I get there. (I’m well aware that I could have gotten there earlier.) A couple of things made it an extra drag today; that is, other than the fact that it was first thing in the morning: … Read more
