~Tuesday~ Today’s buscapade seating chart: Today I sat toward the back of the bus as you can see. As I made my way to my seat, I noticed Other Man leaning forward with his forehead resting on the seatback in front of him, so that I only saw the top of his head—his hair, not … Read more
~Monday~ Today’s buscapade involved—what appeared to me as—unprovoked vitriol. It was cold when I got on the bus, which to me is never a problem. I always prefer it to be too cold over being too hot. After several stops, the bus driver finally turned off the AC, not by any suggestion of anyone that … Read more
~Sunday~ I made cheddar cheese omelets for us for breakfast, with three turkey sausage links each, and an English muffin. And coffee, of course. I wrote an entry that I’m going to submit to AARP for a column they’re doing in September: “Tell us what you really know about television. E-mail your factual essay of … Read more
~Saturday~ NY State Senator Tom Duane Gives Gripping, Angry Speech on AIDS. At around 3 am Thursday, New York State Senator Tom Duane, who is gay and HIV+, delivered a mesmerizing, emotional 21-minute speech on the Senate floor at the end of a marathon session in favor of a bill preventing people living with HIV … Read more
~Friday~ Something I meant to capture last night at Flex: At one point in the evening a girl standing next to me, introducing the guy she was with to another guy nearby, said, “This is my boyfriend. He’s gay, but he loves me.” Alrighty then. About five minutes before the bus came, a pickup truck … Read more
~Thursday~ Today’s buscapades were a serendipitous soap opera. When I got on the bus, there was a lady sitting across from me with a Waffle House uniform on. I thought, “Damn, she’s got a long way to go,” because the stop for the Waffle house is the last stop on the outbound route, which means … Read more
~Wednesday~ I read on the bus on the way in. Uneventful. For the bus home, I was joined at the bus stop in front of the SECU by the “Genetics-Studying Lady” and her adorable little daughter. I haven’t seen them for a while, but these are the two about whom I’ve said before that I’ve … Read more
~Tuesday~ The Erykah Badu lady with the heavy eyelashes was on the bus again this morning. She had on her black, pin-striped pants again, but the rest of the outfit was different. She had on white eye shadow, which accentuated her eyes and heavy lashes even more if you can imagine, especially since she’s African-American. We … Read more
~Monday~ I was under the weather all weekend, and still wasn’t up to snuff today, so I took a sick day. Some great things I’ve heard or read over the past couple of days: “I’m at a loss for words as to what to say when God sneezes.” “If you see a turtle on a … Read more
~Sunday~ Last night, Joe and I had talked about possibly meeting at Panera Bread for breakfast this morning, but I didn’t really feel up to it, and he was gracious enough to change plans. I had two eggs over easy, some toast, and coffee here at the house. I forgot to mention yesterday that I … Read more
