Still dressing on the bus, a DADT kind of lunch, and very limited progress from mom’s hip surgery…

~Tuesday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 this morning, on which students were in various states of being ready to leave their house, although it obviously hadn’t stopped them: One girl’s hair was still wet, one guy was tying his shoes, and another guy was unbuttoning the sleeves of his long-sleeve shirt and rolling them up. … Read more

An out-of-sync sync stop, catching up with work goings-on, and mom’s hip replacement surgery…

~Monday~ I was at the the city bus stop at 8:17 this morning. I added two items to my Ta-Da to-do list, while I waited for the bus to arrive, which it did at 8:22. It was the perfect temperature out at 63°. There were two people on board when I boarded, and although it … Read more

Deviled egg whites salvaged, a 40-year-old clarinet summoned, and the rhetoric of yellow lights…

~Monday~ I woke up at 8:30 again, and once again after not being able to fall back asleep for an hour, I got up. In an attempt to salvage some of those dreadful deviled eggs from yesterday, I scooped out the mixture and chopped up the whites of a few of them, which I sautéed … Read more

Donated diamonds, a Labor Day Holiday cookout, in-and-out scareyoke, and Asians and math…

~Sunday~ I got up at about 9:30 today, after trying to go back to sleep for an hour. I tested the mixture for the deviled eggs, which I immediately didn’t like. It was way too salty and the taste just wasn’t where I wanted it to be. I considered just tossing them all, but then … Read more

A productive board meeting, a lunch with Moxie, hours of minutes, and shirtless men drink free…

~Saturday~ I was up at 7:30 this morning, and I left for Durham at 9:45, so as not to be rushed for my 10:30 meeting downtown. We had a productive Manbites Dog Theater board meeting, which was scheduled to end at noon, and we actually adjourned at 11:50. My kind of calendar integrity. I ran … Read more

Razor blade extensions, students at the bus stop and back to school, and dancing…

~Wednesday~  A while ago, my friend Bob, who reads my blog and knows I haven’t changed the blade in my razor since February 4, 2011, gave me an ARKO shaving soap stick, saying that it gives him such a smooth, smooth shave (of his head), and joking that it could probably allow me to use … Read more

Pill boxes, 2 X PROTEIN, non-sexual orientation, drinking, and the holy trinity of drinking…

~Monday~  I had another big ol’ bowl of All-Bran Bran Buds cereal for breakfast and brushed my teeth right after eating it, which was gross. Nothing worse than a fiber-toothed tiger. Packing my lunch to bring into the office, I couldn’t find my pill box. Not my pillbox hat; I know where that is—right there … Read more

Still not well, prodigal gym trip, TWC & Twitter again, and a celebrity quiz…

~Friday~ I took a sick day today, and went back to sleep after sending an email to that effect to my boss. I took two more Pepto-Bismol tablets. I woke up at 11:25 and downstairs adding the coffee to my coffeemaker, which is right under my calendar on the side of the fridge, I noticed … Read more
