~Thursday~ I woke up at 6:00, and in a rare situation I was unable to fall back asleep. Since I had to catch the 4:00 bus home this afternoon, I got up and caught the 6:45 city bus in, which is pretty much unheard of—as you know, if you’ve been reading for any amount of … Read more
~Wednesday~ The 8:15 city bus arrived at 8:19 this morning, with Hello Outdoorsy Driver at the helm. She stopped at the next stop, which is a sync stop, for four to five minutes. There were only two other people on when I boarded, and none got on at this stop. I thought about a lunch … Read more
~Tuesday~ The 8:15 bus was once again commandeered by the outdoorsy loud hello bus driver—who I actually like in case you can’t tell. I think I’ve mentioned these two Hispanic ladies before—they each have a child, and they always sit across the aisle from one another as opposed to in front of or behind each … Read more
~Monday~ The 8:15 city bus arrived at 8:26. Who’s keeping track? I had just dialed the CAT line and had been instructed to “Press 1 to continue in English,” when screaming sirens came up so fast and so close that I couldn’t hear anything on the other end of the line, so I hung up. … Read more
~Sunday~ Before checking out, I checked my e-mail and Facebook. I saw on Facebook where my friend Kathleen had been to see Tosca, and we had this “conversation” about it, which resulted in an affirmation: This morning, I put on my: and in the elevator of the downtown Asheville Marriott Renaissance Hotel on the way … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up and at ’em at 7:00 this morning, and by 7:40 I was on the road to Durham to pick up Robert. We stopped at Biscuitville, where we nabbed three sausage biscuits and a cup of coffee, before heading out of town to Asheville. We arrived there between 11:30 and noon, and … Read more
~Friday~ I was back on the 8:15 city bus this morning, and that “outdoorsy” looking girl was driving, and I immediately thought of the drama that happened out at Cameron Village yesterday: No Kissing at Cameron Village? Or no kissing if you’re gay? The Magazine Lady was aboard reading a small, mail-order catalog. She stopped … Read more
~Thursday~ I was running all kinds of behind this morning, so being too late for the 8:15 city bus, I drove up to the Wolfline #9 Greek Village stop up on Gorman Street close to Avent Ferry Road, where I haven’t parked since they completed the repaving of Gorman. It’s obvious that you are once again allowed … Read more
~Wednesday~ I arrived at the bus stop at 7:48, and it hadn’t come by 8:00, so I drove down the street to catch the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Kaplan and Gorman. In that short drive, I heard on a morning radio show that a couple just had their third baby on 10-10-10. What … Read more
~Tuesday~ The 8:15 city bus came at 8:25. While I waited, I checked my e-mail on my BlackBerry, where I found a link to a review of Breadcrumbs, Manbites Dog’s current production, and I sent a link to it to Robert and Casey. Read other reviews. Some random thoughts I had on the bus ride … Read more
