~Thursday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:18, and when 8:22 came and went, I thought I might have missed this one, but it eventually came at 8:27. In the meantime, Exercising Asian Man ran (literally) up to the stop, precariously rested his book bag on top of a telephone company indicator pole: … Read more
~Wednesday~ I got a late start today, missing the 8:15 city bus, so caught a Wolfline bus instead. As it was approaching 9:00, the bus was super-crowded, which inevitably lends itself to prolific eye candy. But I digress… A guy sitting across from me was reading The Machine That Changed The World, presumably as a … Read more
~Tuesday~ I dropped off my car bright and early at Thompson-Cadillac-Pontiac-GMC Collision Repair, where after checking it in they had someone from Enterprise come get me to obtain the rental car I’ll be using while they’re doing the repair work. Katie, Enterprise Assistant Manager, picked me up in a Chevy Cobalt, and drove me the … Read more
~Monday~ I was at the city bus stop at 7:45, and the bus arrived at 7:53. There was a new driver today, an older lady, who said hello in response to my good morning. Just as the doors were closing Exercising Asian Man ran up to the door and boarded. He took the seat in … Read more
~Thursday~ I drove over to Gorman and Avent Ferry and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at 8:03. Someone sitting next to me had the worst breath ever. They couldn’t possibly have brushed their teeth before they left home this morning. “Officer Thomas” stood next to me—an ROTC guy in his camouflage outfit with … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was ready to leave for work at 7:55, but I really didn’t want to drive my car to the Wolfline stop, so I killed time by making moves in the four online Scrabble games I’m in the midst of, before heading to the bus stop at 8:16. I waited on the sunny side … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up at 6:00 this morning, because I got to bed at a reasonable hour in a rare occurrence. And I was quite productive before heading to work: scanning the cover of a Tour de Friends booklet that contains the AIDS chain that I want to get a tattoo of, scanning the sequence … Read more
~Monday~ I did about 30 minutes worth of work before leaving the house this morning, as I wanted to get something to my boss before a 9:00 meeting she was going to, and I wanted her to receive it with time for her to synthesize it with her own thoughts on the subject. To that … Read more
~Thursday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:14, which meant I had some time to kill, as the bus doesn’t even leave its origin, which is about four stops before mine, until 8:15. I spent some of that wait time deleting a bunch of pictures from my phone—most of them of things that … Read more
~Wednesday~ Because I had to leave work at 4:00 today, I was up at 6:00 and into the office by 7:30, via a Wolfline bus from the Avent Ferry Park & Ride. A cute guy sat across from me intermittently drinking coffee from a large travel mug and listening to something that emanated from his … Read more
