~Friday~ Xolani and I caught the 7:45 city bus in. Once at the bus stop, I realized I’d forgotten my work badge, which operates the elevator in our building as well as lets us in after hours, and I ran back up to my house to get it. When I was coming back, Xolani was … Read more
~Thursday~ Xolani and I were up and at ’em again today to catch the 7:45 #12 Method Road city bus all the way downtown, as that’s where he’s working and where I was attending day two of the WWW2010/FutureWeb2010 conference at the Raleigh Convention Center. There were four kids on the bus this morning, which … Read more
~Wednesday~ Xolani and I had a nice exchange as we walked out to the bus stop together, since we hadn’t seen each other since last Wednesday. He actually went to Greensboro this weekend while I was gone, and although I didn’t learn how he did, I was glad to hear that he’d gotten out of … Read more
~Tuesday~ We got a late checkout, at 12:30, so took our time in the morning, including breakfast again at the poolside restaurant and bar. I had a plain bagel with cream cheese and grape jam on it, which was most delicious. We left for the airport at around 4:10 taking the same cab we returned … Read more
~Monday~ We were up at 8:30, with a targeted departure time from the Island House of 9:30 to get to the airport for our 10:50 flight to Miami. However, shortly after being up I noticed on my calendar that our flight was not at 10:52, but 11:52. We used the found time to slow … Read more
~Sunday~ Breakfast of a bagel and fruit. We walked down to the Quiznos on Duval for lunch, where a boy who was not the brightest crayon in the box, but arguably the prettiest one, made our sandwiches. We stopped at a souvenir type shop right by Quiznos where Joe and I each bought a white, … Read more
~Saturday~ Joe and I were on slightly different schedules this morning, so ate breakfast separately. We found out later that we’d “flip-flopped” on our breakfast order from yesterday—today I got the mushroom and Swiss omelet and he got the three-cheese one. The Annual Bed Race was scheduled for 2:00 today, but we made no effort … Read more
~Friday~ Joe and I were up by 9:30 in order to have breakfast and to return the rental car by 11:15. We had breakfast at the poolside restaurant and bar, where I had the three-cheese omelet and Joe had the mushroom and Swiss. Good stuff. We didn’t have to turn in the car at the … Read more
~Thursday~ I was up at 3:30, and over to Joe’s by 4:20, ten minutes of ahead of my planned 4:30 arrival time. We stopped by the Wachovia ATM on the way to the airport, where I dropped Joe off at Terminal 2 and went to park in Lot 3, the Purple Lot. Three, older women … Read more
~Wednesday~ Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Xolani and I caught the 7:45 city bus. One of Xolani’s dollar bills did not cooperate with the fare machine, and eventually the bus driver took it and made it work. The Right-hand Rule Lady was on board, whom I haven’t seen in forever. It’s been so long that you might … Read more
