~Monday~ I parked along Gorman near Avent Ferry, where both the Wolfline #9 and #9a buses were heading inbound, and then another (outbound) #9 pulled by, so I crossed Avent Ferry Road assuming the #1 Avent Ferry would come next. It did. An older guy—and by older I mean older than your average student, not … Read more
~Wednesday~ I parked at the Avent Ferry Food Lion Park & Ride @ 7:30 and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus. The young man who boarded in front of me sported a high-and-tight and wore a yellow T-shirt that highlighted his biceps, outlined his pecs, and showed only a little bit of paunch—presumably obtained … Read more
~Friday~ I caught the 8:58 #11 Avent Ferry city bus to Carmichael Gym on campus, where I transferred to the Wolfline #7 Wolflink Shuttle to get to the Butler Communications Building, where I had a 9:30-10:45 meeting. When I boarded the city bus, two girls sitting across from me were mid-conversation, in which the one … Read more
~Saturday~ I stayed close to home, well at home to be exact, until about 5:30 at which time my stomach felt settled enough to venture to the gym. I did cardio work, with 60 minutes on the elliptical machine for a 1070-calorie burn, during which I listened to the Recordings for Someone podcast episode of … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the #1 Avent Ferry Wolfline bus today on which I observed a young man about whom I might invoke one of my father’s favorite sayings about, “He reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger.” He was kind of a geeky kid, and he had a huge stack of papers, … Read more
~Wednesday~ Due to the nasty, nasty weather this morning—some wind and torrential rain, I drove over to the Wofline bus stop on Gorman, where I can sit in my car across from the stop until I see the bus coming, and which drops me off much closer to my building than the city bus. For … Read more
~Tuesday~ Another short bus ride this morning for day two of the DITA conference at the McKimmon Center. Though, I never saw her, I listened to a little kid “saying the darnedest things” in the back of the bus during the short time I was on it. Today’s entry will be on the affirmation-heavy side, … Read more
~Monday~ I caught the “short bus” today, meaning I only traveled four stops instead of the fifteen or so I normally do to get to work. And that’s because I attended the first day of a DITA Conference, which was held at the McKimmon Center, which is very close to my house, which is one more “which”—make that two … 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
29 years ago today, I walked into New Employee Orientation at International Business Machines, where I enjoyed a 28-year career that ended on my own terms on September 12, 2008. I read more of Dewey on the bus on the way in. Each driver seems to have a different idea of exactly where the bus should … Read more
