~Sunday~ See the team’s blog for today’s entry: A Katrina-focused Sunday amidst a Mardi Gras backdrop. Some observations and memories that I captured, but did not put in the team blog: I stuck my head in the second bedroom, where 10 people were sleeping, turned on that light and said, “It’s 8:30 and we’re trying … Read more
~Saturday~ I can’t keep up both my personal blog and the team blog while I’m on this trip, so each of my daily entries will just point to the team’s blog update for that day. See the team’s blog for today’s entry: Gulf Coast team arrives safely in New Orleans and Saturday Evening: shopping, dining, … Read more
~Friday~ Uncharacteristically, I woke up in the middle of the night. It was just before 3:00, and about a minute after I woke up there was this loud pop outside and then my power blinked off and back on. It was just long enough to reset my clock, whose 72-point font was blinking a bright … Read more
~Thursday~ I drove over to Gorman and Avent Ferry and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at 8:03. Someone sitting next to me had the worst breath ever. They couldn’t possibly have brushed their teeth before they left home this morning. “Officer Thomas” stood next to me—an ROTC guy in his camouflage outfit with … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was ready to leave for work at 7:55, but I really didn’t want to drive my car to the Wolfline stop, so I killed time by making moves in the four online Scrabble games I’m in the midst of, before heading to the bus stop at 8:16. I waited on the sunny side … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up at 6:00 this morning, because I got to bed at a reasonable hour in a rare occurrence. And I was quite productive before heading to work: scanning the cover of a Tour de Friends booklet that contains the AIDS chain that I want to get a tattoo of, scanning the sequence … Read more
~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
~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
~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
~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
