Holey knees; if it weren’t for bad luck, she’d have no luck at all; deadly artifacts; and a $$$ trip

~Thursday~  Once again, I was ready between the 30-minute interval of the city bus, so I rode over to the Avent Ferry and Gorman Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus stop, which would be a convenient place to pick up my car after a luncheon I would be attending down the road on Avent Ferry. Since … Read more

Is the bus close, credit card fraud free-for-all, a really misplaced modifier, & smokes for dancing

~Wednesday~  I was running way behind this morning, so much so that I caught the #9 Wolfline at the Gorman and Kaplan stop at 8:40. When I arrived at the stop, a student was there waiting and seeing me look at my CrackBerry, she asked, “Is it close?” “Yes, it’s at the stop before this … Read more

17,000 wheelchair accessible balloon rides, quiet in the office, greasy grilling, and a workout…

~Monday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, where I waited on the shady side of the street until the bus arrived, late, at 8:26. I believe I may have mentioned this ad before, which was on today’s bus: Serena’s Song: The World’s First Wheelchair-Accessible Hot Air Balloon. Of course my initial thought … Read more

Obesity (& God) deters homosexuality, framed at 1/3 the cost, and a bag-wrapped credit card…

~Sunday~  I slept way in this morning. Oh glorious weekend. I participated in my Sunday morning ritual of coffee, breakfast, country gospel music, and perusing the week’s PostSecrets. Aside: What’s the difference between a “ritual” and a “habit?” The difference is intention. I think this secret was the richest, purely in terms of the issues … Read more

A drink from the bubbler and a lake walk, a Two Guys Groupon, & Mrs. Chason passes…

~Saturday~  I slept in and enjoyed a leisurely morning. In the early afternoon, I got a wild hair and actually swept and mopped my kitchen and downstairs bathroom floors. And I enjoyed the clean smell of Pine Sol® all day. Robert arrived at about 3:00, and we went for a walk around the lake for … Read more

Making up on the bus, my heart takes a trip back in time, and somebody’s leg gets puked on…

~Friday~  I had planned on driving to work again today, but since the city bus was due pretty much at the time I was ready, I went ahead and caught it in. The weather was a perfect 68° this morning. A lady to the left of me and up a row read a book that … Read more

Sign of progress, thatsa bowl of watermelon, tropical fun, Mesquite fries, Dixit, a sh*tty prize…

~Thursday~  I drove to work this morning, because I only needed a two-hour parking spot, of which there are plenty around my building when the students are out for the summer. I got a big smile on my face when I got to the light at the Gorman and Kaplan intersection, where I saw a … Read more

To work, back, and to work again; the idiom police; a hellbent task completed; & melon criteria fail

~Wednesday~  I was ready for work with a lot of time before the next either city or university bus would arrive, so I decided to take a chance and drive to work. But when I got to the few spots relatively near my work that don’t have a two-hour limit to them, they were all … Read more

A quiet conversation with the air, a hellbent lost and found task, and not being a dog…

~Tuesday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, where after ten minutes of just standing there, the back of my shirt was wet with sweat. Can you say humid as f*ck again? And zero breeze. The bus arrived at 8:26, and not a moment too soon. I’ll give you a topic, “Neither Hot … Read more
