~Wednesday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, on which a young, female student studied, what looked like, vocabulary words, using flashcards. Word on the front, definition on the back. I noticed yellow highlighting in some of the definitions when the cards were flipped. I didn’t realize they still made 3×5 … Read more
~Tuesday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus in today, and none of my regular characters were aboard. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t have anything to talk about. There were only four people on the bus, all of color, including a lady sitting across from me, knitting, using gray wool and a turquoise needle that was … Read more
~Monday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, on which I sat across from a thin Asian girl eating a piece of toast. It was unbuttered, and I can’t even begin to articulate how slowly she ate it. She must have chewed this one bite one hundred times. It so reminded … Read more
~Sunday~ I reveled in eight hours of glorious sleep. Today was a struggle of an eating day, having to count “yesterday’s 4th meal” in today’s calorie intake. No fun. Another awesome (“deaf”) Def Poetry entry! I spent a couple of hours doing taxes today. I’ve used Turbo Tax to do my taxes for years, but … Read more
~Saturday~ We were up shortly after eight, and at the NC State’s Farmers’ Market Restaurant for breakfast by 10:00. We each had their most delicious French Toast. I had an egg over easy on the side with mine, and Robert had a side of bacon with his. Back at home, I was in and out, … Read more
~Friday~ I took a “mental health day” from work today—taking eight hours of leave time, and sleeping a glorious eight hours. I caught up a day of my blog, did some laundry, and got through my pile of mail from last week. Robert came over after work, and we went to see Sandra Bullock‘s Academy Award-winning … Read more
~Thursday~ I continue to notice house ads on the bus, and this morning four out of the five (on the city) bus were house ads—two (of the same) ads for a temporary detour coming up for the 7C route, and two (of the same ad) for an upcoming public hearing about proposed fare policy changes. … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in this morning, on which I counted 9 ads above the seats on one side of the bus. Three of them were “house ads”: one about Wolfline’s Holiday/Break Schedule, one about the “Wolfprowl” bus, and the other about NC State Transportation’s Go Pass program. There weren’t too many students … Read more
~Tuesday~ The city bus was on the verge of being “too late” this morning. It arrived at 8:30, ten minutes later than the expected 8:20. Library Man was aboard, reading a newspaper or a magazine that looked like a newspaper. At one stop, a college kid boarded with a carton that said, “All Whites,” on … Read more
~Monday~ I’m itching to get back to my “life’s routine,” but I didn’t start the day that way, waking up five minutes after I should have been at work. I’d set my alarm clock for 7:30PM instead of 7:30AM. After a quick e-mail to my boss, I rushed through my morning ritual and arrived at … Read more
