A Manbites board meeting, lunch in Hillsborough, and blackout night at Flex…

~Saturday~  I got up at 8:30 this morning, and I made up a dozen sausage “biscuits” before heading to Durham for our 10:30 Manbites Dog Theater board of directors meeting. Biscuits is in quotation marks, because the turkey sausage patties were actually on rolls, not biscuits. I walked around Geer Street looking for the building … Read more

A skosh revival, hey’s for horses, and Baby Got Front…

~Thursday~  I started my work day at Bruegger’s, where when I walked in I said to the award-winning manager and team, “How’s my favorite morning crew?” “A pumpernickel and honey-walnut cream cheese bagel, is that it?” the cashier asked. “And a small cup of coffee, please,” I replied and then added, “Just a skosh of … Read more

An electric bug zapper horn, a dominatrixy Asian, and a festive dance night…

~Wednesday~  I was actually ready early this morning, and rather than driving to a nearby Wolfline stop, I killed some time by slicing up a cantaloupe I bought yesterday and emptying my dishwasher. After all that, I almost missed the bus. It pulled up when I was still crossing the street to get to the … Read more

A pampered clarinet, a staying brutal passenger, and a customer service rant…

~Tuesday~  I packaged my clarinet in its case, which fit perfectly into my empty Pampered Chef deviled egg server box. The length was exact, and I stuffed plastic grocery bags down the two-to-three inch column on either side of its width. I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Gorman and Avent Ferry, where … 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

It’s my move in eight games, a found hour to prep for deviled eggs, & Suzanne’s family gathering…

~Saturday~&nbsp I devised Wednesday’s, Thursday’s and Friday’s blog entries from my phone notes and posted them. I made moves in the many Scrabble games in which it was my turn: I created a doodle.com poll to schedule September’s, October’s, November’s, and December’s Salons and sent the link to the members. I was getting ready to … Read more

Eating on my mind, wet things on my buns, butter-soaked corn and I don’t care…

~Thursday~ I caught the Wolfline bus at the Avent Ferry and Gorman stop again this morning, and the ride was uneventful. I attended our weekly 1.5-hour Google Implementation Team meeting in the Avent Ferry Technology Center, to which I rode courtesy of my colleague and friend, Sarah. I spent most of the time in the … Read more
