Senior seats & coffee, D-Day@work, an intellectual boner, and an immortal life…

~Friday~  I parked on Gorman Street, crossed the street, and got on the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus pulling up. The bus was sparse for a change, which was good, but we got behind a school bus, which wasn’t good, making it a slow ride in. Some might argue that ours is a school bus, … Read more

Blue, young, and able; a litigious society; (unresolved tension; & a cast crashes TPPN…

~Thursday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:17 and the bus arrived at 8:21. A minute ahead of schedule if you buy 8:22 as the mode. A little mixed race boy sat with his very white mother, who had shocking red hair, played with some sort of gadget that spoke in one of … Read more

A seat change, Isaiah on the Kindle, a LaToyaless house, & the African Diaspora Film Festival…

~Wednesday~  I caught the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus, to which I ran from my parking spot to catch. Although it was only the second stop, all of the seats were already taken and there were already students standing in the aisle. That’s just crazy. I had a glorious work day of no meetings. I … Read more

Endearing egg yolks, Diet Squirt, scar-on-scar action, car damage assessment, & Glee…

~Tuesday~  I left my house by car at 8:18 and just missed both the Wolfline #1 and #9 buses. I checked the buses’ GPS via TVS and chose the #9 stop, as it was next to come. As I waited, I realized that I’d forgotten my hard-boiled egg whites this morning to go with my … Read more

A new bebé, hiding sardines (so to speak), a Valentine’s Day Affair, and a legal conversation…

~Monday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:15, and the bus arrived at 8:24. Two Hispanic ladies were already on when I boarded and they sat—and talked—across the aisle from each other in the center-facing seats up front. I’m pretty sure one of them was someone I commented about at some point in … Read more

Clearer in the light of day, some cheese with that “house” wine, dinner@Red Lobster, & Caribou, too

~Sunday~  I ran to the grocery store, and on the ride over, I noticed a few things wrong with my car that I didn’t notice last night: 1) The Toyota emblem is missing from the front grill of my car, 2) My sunroof no longer slides open, and 3) The spare tire well in the … Read more

A crazy, crazy ride home: Rear-ended by a Lexus & then almost again 45 minutes later…

~Saturday~  I had a lazy, lazy day today. I never made it to the gym, but I did make it into my holiday bin to retrieve some of the red and white tissue paper to use in a Valentine’s Day basket I’m putting together. I finished up some leftover spaghetti tonight, and to that sauce … Read more

A glacial pace arm movement, interesting sweat formations, work affirmations, & Finger’s 30th…

~Friday~  I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16, and I waited on the sunny side of the street (literally, not figuratively) until the bus arrived at 8:25. The Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, but it wasn’t outrageously hot on the bus—just rageously hot. Library Man was aboard, whom I haven’t seen … Read more

What’s that on your nose and belly, lunch with Libby & Jude @ Coquettes, and a night in…

~Thursday~  I woke up at 7:00 to a dusting of snow, which had covered my car, but was not sticking to the road at all. Which was a good thing, as I had an 8:00 follow-up appointment with my dermatologist to check on the two things she did two weeks ago, and to do a … Read more

Class(less), jalapeños and cheddar, Harry Baals, dancing, and a run of sell outs…

~Wednesday~  Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Another day of class, and I did what I could to check in, mentally, now and then in some bizarre attempt to appear interested when I clearly was not. I don’t think I fooled anyone, at all, not even for a minute. During the two episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race that … Read more
