“Riley” says hello, sorta; a 1.75-year buscapade first; Photoshop art, Alejandro, salad, dancing…

~Wednesday~  While waiting for the 8:15 city bus, that Golden Retriever came out to do his on-demand poo, and as soon as he looked up and saw me at the bus stop, he did a trot up toward me ignoring his owner, whom I’m quite sure was calling, “Riley! Riley!” I thought he liked me … Read more

A messed up file system, a Lunch & Learn, and the university-level Awards for Excellence…

~Tuesday~ I got a little behind this morning in spite of getting up early, and by the time I’d made coffee and packed my lunch, I’d missed the 8:15 bus. I drove over to the Wolfline stop at Gorman St. and Kings Court, and got on the #9 Greek Village bus at a little after 8:30. … Read more

A bus sunroof, an Afro on the bus, pizza night at the gym, and an affirmation-generating meme…

~Monday~  I caught the 8:15 city bus, which had a different driver than the usual one. He talked about sports with two guys sitting up front my entire trip. The discussion started off with basketball, during which one of the guys said, “I don’t care what nobody says, Sidney Lowe is the best point guard … Read more

Credit card retrieval, a grammatical mess, feeling good, and an unexpected power outage…

~Sunday~  First on my agenda this morning was to retrieve my credit card that’s now been down at The Dinner for two days. I dropped into Helios, got a cup of coffee, and then slipped across the street to get my card. They couldn’t find it at first and I was relieved when they eventually … Read more

Hugh’s 38th birthday Jubilee, Eric’s going away party, and a depleted active self…

~Saturday~  I had a lazy Saturday during the day at least. Around mid-afternoon, I made a grocery run that included purchasing a watermelon, which I later cubed up (and de-seeded even though it was a seedless watermelon) to take to Hugh’s party later in the afternoon. I spent a little time looking at an article … Read more

Labels that persist, a card from Jonah, muffins from Anna, and a night out with Sarah and Phil…

~Friday~  I waited on the opposite side of the street of the bus stop, since it’s starting to warm up in the morning, and it’s shady on that side of the street. I was caught up in Facebook on my BlackBerry when the bus appeared at the intersection, and I scooted across the street. At … Read more

Fur between my legs, a porky princess, Billy Joe Day, a rulesy bus driver, & a bit of honey…

~Thursday~  It’s official. The muffin is gone. Completely. Including the wrapper, which wasn’t even on the ground around the pole. I got totally engrossed in my BlackBerry and it’s an absolute miracle I didn’t both jump and scream when a wet snout followed by fur rubbed between my legs down on the inside of my … Read more

“You’re easily distracted,” another bank robbery near work, rhetoric, shopping, and dancing…

~Wednesday~  I caught the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, and tracked its progress to my stop on my BlackBerry via this website. Shortly after I arrived at the Kaplan/Gorman stop to wait for the bus, a young lady wearing a backpack walked up to the stop and stood within hearing distance of … Read more

Muffin deterioration redux, Temporary Alice & Word Search Lady appear, and catching up my blog…

~Tuesday~  With yesterday being a holiday, it’s a short work week, and I started it off in the rain at the bus stop noting the end stages of muffin deterioration. You can see that the wrapper is almost completely flattened now. Remember how it looked a week ago Monday? I waited for the bus for … Read more
