~Wednesday~ I caught the 8:45 bus in instead of the 8:15, as the university was on a weather delay opening at 10:00. It’s the day after the “big ice storm” that brought everything to a standstill around here, and it was cold while I waited for the bus, about which warnings had been posted on … Read more
~Friday, New Year’s Eve~ I slept in today. In the afternoon, I went to the gym, where I did some stretching exercises, 300 ab crunches, and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. Some soap opera, I think it might have been General Hospital, had a very, very, very dramatic (one could almost say melodramatic) episode … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up at 6:00 and downstairs shortly after breakfast started at 7:00. Everything was delicious that I had—scrambled eggs, hash brown potatoes, sausage, and bacon, but I sure did want some kind of bread, none of which was a part of the spread. I tried to “walk the talk” of taking advantage of … Read more
~Tuesday~ I got a little behind this morning in spite of getting up early, and by the time I’d made coffee and packed my lunch, I’d missed the 8:15 bus. I drove over to the Wolfline stop at Gorman St. and Kings Court, and got on the #9 Greek Village bus at a little after 8:30. … Read more
~Tuesday~ Xolani and I were up and on the 7:45 bus again this morning. Sometimes it feels like Groundhog Day standing at the bus stop, when day after day the bus is on the later side rather than the earlier side, and when the long, yellow school bus passes by at the same time. A … Read more
~Tuesday~ Library Man was aboard this morning. He actually wasn’t in his element like he normally is, which is to say he wasn’t reading a newspaper or a trade magazine. Boring. A lady with a head scarf sat to the right of me, and she held her cell phone up in her left hand the … Read more
~Monday~I was up at 5:15 and drove to work for 6 AM. I parked behind my building, where it’s free street parking up until 7AM, and then free, but only for two hours at a time between 7 AM and 5 PM. At NC State, there is a thing called The Free Expression Tunnel, where … Read more
~Friday~ It was cold as a witch’s tit at the bus top this morning, and the bus was on the late, rather than early, side. As we went around a stopped Wolfline bus, I saw Logorrhea running to catch that one. I wondered if she talks as much on that bus as she does on … Read more
~Sunday~ I am enjoying the massa I received at Thanksgiving from my parents (as a belated birthday present) and I only have a couple left so you can expect only two more reports about it as a breakfast roll. Today, I skipped the egg (since I had three of them in that breakfast combo I … Read more
~Saturday~ Love, love, love this video! It’s one boy spliced and dubbed. Talented! In celebration of my one-year anniversary of my last day at IBM after starting 28 years before that, I treated myself to a day off. I napped for a couple of hours in the afternoon, and then treated myself to dinner out. I … Read more
