~Thursday~ Library Man was aboard this morning, reading the News & Observer. I noticed Mrs. My Three Sons still making the two-block trek to have her kids board the bus where a lot of other kids also board. It’s actually a fairly significant walk for her, as she’s not a petite lady, so it’s extra … Read more
~Wednesday~ The city bus stops for me at a stop that is right after turning left onto Kaplan from Kent. This morning the bus did something I’ve never seen it do before. While it was stopped at that intersection waiting to turn left, where there’s a stop sign, it opened its doors and let someone … Read more
~Tuesday~ Once again, I had something going on after work and wanted more bus options at the end of the day, so I took the Wolfline bus in again this morning. It was perfect timing, as the bus arrived just as I arrived at the stop. A glance around the bus revealed three people doing … Read more
~Monday~ I rode the Wolfline in this morning for more options to get home in time to make it back to campus for class at 6:00. I wanted my car with me as tonight was Salon VIII, right after class, and we were meeting out at Sarah’s as she’s been having some health issues. On … Read more
~Sunday~ Over breakfast, I checked in with Robert about celebrating Valentine’s Day today. He’s still fighting (the end) of a cold, and we knew it would be crowded out today, so we agreed to celebrate it on Tuesday evening, as we already have a night out planned attending The Monti. The theme for Tuesday night … Read more
~Saturday~ Although it had stopped snowing by morning, its remnants were all about. With my morning coffee in hand, I opened the blinds on the windows facing my back deck, to a scene that prompted me to write this haiku: No sound on my deck. Is that the white noise of snow? Beautiful morning. While … Read more
~Friday~ Surprisingly, I woke up at about 8:30 and couldn’t get back to sleep. I told mom and dad that I’d call them at the Ramada Inn at 10:00 to see when they’d be ready. I was torn between calling them a little earlier and letting them sleep, but if I know my dad, he … Read more
~Thursday~ From the very beginning of today, it was hard to believe that our flights from Providence to Philadelphia and Philadelphia to Raleigh were still both on. I checked again this morning online. This huge winter storm system from the past couple of days has reeked havoc across the northeast. Mom, Dad, and enjoyed the … Read more
~Wednesday~ My wake-up call came at 6:00 only because my mom asked me to wake her up then. Personally, my alarm was set for 7:00. I went to our adjoining doors and called to her long enough to get a response and to be sure she was awake, and I lay back down. I never … Read more
~Tuesday~ My parents left Jacksonville for a 2.5- to 3-hour ride to Raleigh. I’d told them to call me when they got to Jones Sausage Road (stupid road name, but easy to remember) so I could stay on the phone with them the rest of the way as they always get confused there. They called … Read more
