~Saturday~ I left my house at about 11:15 and went to Durham to help Robert move his couch and desk to his new place. For two old guys, we got it done without too much trouble. For lunch, we drove by Elmo’s Diner to find it way too busy to wait, and decided on Jimmy … Read more
~Friday~ I got on the Wolfline bus at its second stop, again to find an early morning grocery shopper toward the front of the bus taking up two seats with her bags. I took the seat next to her, but on the other side of a partition. Unlike the shopper last Friday however, this one quickly realized … Read more
~Thursday~ Another morning on the Wolfline bus instead of the city bus, and another N-2-B situation. I listened to my iPod on the ride in. At first I put on Macy Gray, but finding her a little too edgy for morning music (I am not a morning person), I switched over to the melodious Norah … Read more
~Wednesday~ Before leaving the house, I tried to renew my library book online, as I didn’t want to take it with me on the bus this morning if I didn’t have to take it over to the library during the day to return. I was shocked once again, but delighted once again, that I was … Read more
~Tuesday~ Not one of my named characters was on the bus this morning. I even re-checked the bus route (not that I could be on any bus other than the #12 Method Inbound, since it’s the only one that stops by my house) and I checked the time to see if perhaps I had fallen … Read more
~Monday~ I was up and at ’em at oh-dark-hundred this morning with a commitment to be at work for 7:00. To that end, I caught the 6:55 #11 Avent Ferry city bus, which was supposed to pick up at 6:55. Some things that I never see in the morning as I’m never up while it’s … Read more
~Sunday~ I had the most elaborate and exhausting dreams overnight—the kind I was so glad were just dreams once I woke up. I thought, “Thank goodness that wasn’t real and I can just forget all of it.” Now that I’ve written that, I’m wondering if you can even have “exhausting dreams.” I mean can exhausting … Read more
~Saturday~ Evidently LiveJournal has introduced a search tool. Thank goodness! Not having one has long been one of the very few things that I don’t like about LJ. I’m not quite sure why I didn’t see an announcement on it; I found out via an e-mail from my friend Casey (cpeel): Howdy John, You’ll be … Read more
~Friday~ I was running behind this morning, so I once again took the Wolfline bus. There is a grocery store at the beginning of the line I take, and I got on at the second stop. A kid had been shopping that early in the morning, and he had his grocery bags sprawled across the … Read more
~Thursday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in again this morning. Students. Lots of them. Nuts to butts. We had our monthly area meeting to which our CIO was invited. Surprisingly, there was no lull in the Q&As. In fact, it took up a whole hour of the 1.5-hour meeting. We canceled our weekly 1.5-hour working … Read more
