~Monday~ Now more than ever, it’s important to come out. Closets are for clothes, not people. Come out, come out, wherever you are. In light of the recent early arrival of the 7:45 bus, I was out at the stop at 7:44. It came at 7:50. Magazine Lady was aboard, but she wasn’t reading a … Read more
~Sunday~ After a SSS and packing for my imminent check-out, I met Anna over at Wasatch Bagels Cafe, where for breakfast I had a 9-grain bagel with egg and cheese on it, along with a cup of coffee. Back at the hotel, I checked out, and Anna drove me to the airport early for my … Read more
~Saturday~ I got up earlier than I anticipated, and as beautiful as that king size bed looked, its mattress was not as firm I prefer and my back was hurting a little. That, together with breathing through my mouth instead of my nose all night, which resulted in waking up once at 2:30, again at … Read more
~Friday~ I spent a grand total of an hour packing this morning, the biggest challenge being getting my sports coat packed in hopes of introducing as few wrinkles to it along the way as possible, and posturing it such that if something leaked in my bag it would be somewhat protected. To that end, once … Read more
~Thursday~ Joe picked me up at 7:00 this morning and took me to his doctor’s office, where I was to have a “Fun-with-people-coming-out-of-anesthesia Day.” The waiting room had free wi-fi in it, so I actually got some work done, mostly [still] refining my presentation for 1:00 today. Several people—around four of them—came in after Joe, … Read more
~Wednesday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 7:47, and by 8:00 the bus hadn’t yet come. A young black kid and that Asian man I mentioned yesterday were waiting as well. At about 7:55, the Asian Man pounded madly on his back for about a minute, and then took off sprinting down the … Read more
~Tuesday~ As I was walking up to the city bus stop, a student (at least he was young and wore a backpack) walked past me, presumably walking down to the Wolfline stop at Gorman and Kaplan. I had to resist saying, “Excuse me. Are you a student? ‘Cause if you are, you can just catch … Read more
~Monday~ I got to the stop for the 7:45 bus at 7:49, which is really pushing it, but I knew I hadn’t missed the bus because there were two other people waiting there for it. They both boarded before me, and the second guy was a “piggy banker,” so once he emptied his pocket of … Read more
~Sunday~ We had a leisurely morning. Casey did some laundry and a little volunteer work for Distributed Proofreading, which is “an organization that provides a web-based method to ease the conversion of Public Domain books into e-books.” I worked on catching up a few days of my blog, with it taking an inordinate amount of … Read more
~Saturday~ When I got down to my kitchen, there was a sticky note on my thermostat from Casey that he’d just left to go for a run. This inspired me to run to the gym right after a quick breakfast. I did a 40-minute cardio workout on the elliptical machine, for a 711-calorie burn. There … Read more
