The elderly stand, the driver learns (or doesn’t), cavorting with a reader, and three days ahead…

~Monday~  I did about 30 minutes worth of work before leaving the house this morning, as I wanted to get something to my boss before a 9:00 meeting she was going to, and I wanted her to receive it with time for her to synthesize it with her own thoughts on the subject. To that … Read more

Friends don’t let their friends and relatives find their porn, Salon XIX, and Lacks progress…

~Sunday~ This secret from today’s collection at PostSecret reminded me that I’ve had a conversation about this with many a gay friend. I, personally, have no concerns at all about anything of mine found after I die. These “write-in e-mails” were included after that postcard: —–email—– I cleaned out my ex-husband’s apartment when he died … Read more

Mark Ash’s funeral, Striving for More’s fundraiser, and Glenn’s RSVP cruise stories…

~Saturday~  I slept in this morning, and at about 12:25 headed out to Apex for the funeral of Sarah Ash’s husband, Mark. I missed a very secluded turn into the Cox Aerodome,” which is a Private Jets Charter airfield, which I wasn’t expecting at the time. I thought I was going to a small regional … Read more

Working remotely, teeth so clean I could eat off them, and meeting a pole dancing instructor…

~Friday~  I was grateful to be able to work from home today. I rode over to the Avent Ferry Technology Center, across from the Mission Valley Shopping Center for an Office of Information Technology University Awards for Excellence meeting from 10:00-11:00. I continue to feel professionally affirmed with this group, which of course makes the … Read more

A trashy (and I don’t mean ME) bus stop, not lax reading Lacks, and a drag queen named Max Flow…

~Thursday~  I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:14, which meant I had some time to kill, as the bus doesn’t even leave its origin, which is about four stops before mine, until 8:15. I spent some of that wait time deleting a bunch of pictures from my phone—most of them of things that … Read more

Nice snake, chick musac, Libra bonds, net worth it, a death, & late-night work…

~Wednesday~  Because I had to leave work at 4:00 today, I was up at 6:00 and into the office by 7:30, via a Wolfline bus from the Avent Ferry Park & Ride. A cute guy sat across from me intermittently drinking coffee from a large travel mug and listening to something that emanated from his … Read more

Shivering for his toes, a mis-calendaring, expen$ive pill$, and ahead of schedule reading…

~Tuesday~  I made random good decisions today that started my day off on a good note. I chose to wear long pants (I’ve worn shorts for the past week), and it was cold out. I grabbed my umbrella at the last minute, and there were tiny rain drops on my windshield. And I pulled up … Read more

That’s so unacceptable, a police accident report as a technical document, and doppelganging…

~Monday~  I caught a Wolfline bus in this morning, and what the kid sitting across me was reading reminded me that NC State is, indeed, an college with a history steeped in agriculture. It was some textbook about animals. A Middle Eastern guy ended up standing in the aisle right in front of me, and … Read more

Dewey Decimal deciphering, crooked on the commode, Scenes from a Mall, MSBC, & scareyoke…

~Sunday~  After eight hours of glorious sleep, I was up for my regular Sunday morning routine, which I articulated in a Facebook status update: “PostSecrets read. Country gospel on the iPod shuffle. And bourbon-pecan coffee in my cup. #MustBeSundayMorning.” I especially liked two secrets today, the first one because it’s clever, and the second one … Read more

Slept, read, and spied on someone texting—all in the shortest entry ever…

~Saturday~  Oh boy, I wasted a perfectly lovely day by sleeping through it. The weather was beautiful, and I never even stepped outside to experience it. I read more of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, successfully reaching the day’s reading goal. Good stuff. I stopped in at Flex, late, at around 11:15 PM. I … Read more
