A rider with his legs spread, death in threes, Salon VI, and minimal karaoke…

~Monday~  I had the most ridiculous dreams all night long about editing a document in Microsoft Word that was going to be published on the web. Inane. I got behind enough this morning to miss the 8:15 city bus, so I carried myself over to Gorman Street to catch the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus. … Read more

Privacy vs. fame, a workout, missing Jupiter, and STC judging…

~Sunday~  I am enjoying the massa I received at Thanksgiving from my parents (as a belated birthday present) and I only have a couple left so you can expect only two more reports about it as a breakfast roll. Today, I skipped the egg (since I had three of them in that breakfast combo I … Read more

A Facebook money-wiring scam, Andre Agassi “Open,” and the “After Prom Party”…

~Saturday~  I was up at 8:30 and had a most delicious breakfast sandwich, consisting of turkey sausage, an over-easy egg, and a slice of American cheese melted on top—all on a Portuguese sweet roll. Heaven. I had just logged into Facebook to check out Robert’s Scrabble move, which he usually makes in the morning before … Read more

Thanksgiving meal redux, men and makeup, an exhausting dream, and a 17-year lie…

~Friday~  Joe came over for a late lunch, and I heated up all the leftovers from Vivian and Jeff’s Thanksgiving meal for a repeat, since Joe worked all day yesterday and didn’t have a “real” Thanksgiving dinner. Again, for identification purposes, starting at “12:00” and moving clockwise: chourico (Portuguese sausage), cranberry sauce, corn pudding, mashed … Read more

Thanksgiving, 2009

~Thursday, Thanksgiving Day~  I’d love to have the job of the person who gets to manipulate the art in Google’s logo for various occasions. Today’s was: See the archive of the logo art if you’re interested/curious. Robert arrived around 9:00 and shortly thereafter, we headed to Greenville. We checked in from Wilson to let Vivian … Read more

A buscaRpade, affirmations, an A buscaRpade, affirmations, an asthma-like attack, and dancing…

~Wednesday~  Since we’re being “sent home” (in a good, Thanksgiving, kind of way) today at 3:00, the Wolfline buses aren’t running, and the city bus wouldn’t depart until about 3:40, I decided to use one of my dozen or so free parking passes that you get as a sort of “thank you” for taking public … Read more

Buscapades and digitally-captured dialog all the day long…

~Tuesday~  While I waited for the bus this morning, a college student walked by walking his dachshund, which had the most interesting coloring. It looked like this little guy, except all gray and black even on the paws. What made it even more interesting to me, and made me audibly chuckle actually, was that the … Read more

A plethora of buscapades, a quartet of affirmations, and a smörgåsbord of religions to chose from…

~Monday~  The bus driver this morning was Wrong Way Willie—I just now named him although he earned his name two weeks ago. Madonna and Genetically-Beautiful Daughter got off at the stop after I got on, and Sophia’s hair was not tied up, which always makes her look precociously old, reminding me of Donna Summer’s hair … Read more

Some exercise, health care reform education, grocery $$$avings, & a five-alarm Filet…

~Sunday~ I treated myself to a full eight hours of sleep last night. Once up, I tweeted this: I’m looking forward to a “day off” today. Gonna catch up my blog, get to the gym, and maybe cook myself some filet mignon for dinner. #nice I did get to all three today, although not in that … Read more

Vivian’s induction into the Educators Hall of Fame, a 4-hour talk with nappy, and some dancing…

~Saturday~  I was up at 6:45, and with Robert’s arrival at just after 7:30, we headed to Greenville, NC, which is about an hour-and-a-half ride. We arrived at my sister and her husband’s place at just a little after 9:00, where we joined them and my parents for a few minutes before heading over to … Read more
