A regular stop button, a delightful lunch, a decent meeting, cutting ties, and proud of my cousin…

~Monday~  I parked along Gorman near Avent Ferry, where both the Wolfline #9 and #9a buses were heading inbound, and then another (outbound) #9 pulled by, so I crossed Avent Ferry Road assuming the #1 Avent Ferry would come next. It did. An older guy—and by older I mean older than your average student, not … Read more

Hot Mess Driver & Logorrhea incognito, a flask@klatsch, a recycle yenta, & a lost bet…

~Friday~  In a rare event, I awoke before my 7:30 alarm went off, and I actually went ahead and got up. I made coffee, breakfast and lunch, all “to go,” and I was at the bus stop a wasteful two minutes early, at 8:13. The weather was absolutely prefect this morning—cool enough to notice, but … Read more

A hairy run, a meds drop-off, hateful overeating, a let-go bartender, and Jackasses…

~Wednesday~  I was totally not into going to work again today, which is a trend I don’t like. I’m going to make some adjustments to my personal calendar today to factor in a little me time. I don’t do the introvert thing often, but every once in a while it beckons me. I parked on … Read more

Football, not teaching, stupid; eating affirmations; scientific miracles; & a distressing defense…

~Wednesday~  I worked at home today from 6AM until 3PM. I took an hour lunch break, during which I rode out to my financial advisor’s to sign beneficiaries for a couple of my investment accounts. If my plane goes down traveling to or from Key West, I know three people who will be glad I … Read more

A light-headed bus driver, a gold boullion meatloaf, and using OPM for your vices…

~Friday~  I was at the city bus stop for a few minutes when Exercising Asian Man walked up and said, “Good morning.” “Good morning,” I replied. “Bus coming?” he asked as if I had any more powers “to know” than he did. Although I wanted to say, “Eventually,” I just said, “I don’t hear it.” … Read more

A short history in a fat book, an amazingly affirming gift, and an update on our Habitat house…

~Thursday~  I got a late start this morning, and after making my breakfast and lunch sandwiches while waiting for my four cups of coffee to brew, I drove over to Gorman and Avent Ferry to catch the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus. A cute guy sat across from me reading Why GM Matters, presumably for … Read more
