~Saturday~ I love starting my day off with a laugh, although it rarely happens as I’m not at all a morning person. Perhaps if I were more open to it, it would happen more often. My doorbell rang at 8:05 and when I opened the door, I found the guy here to do my quarterly … Read more
~Sunday~ I forgot to capture this from yesterday. It’s from a follow-up e-mail from my uncle, from which I wanted to capture a few more affirmations: Writer you are, I would be on the computer 24 hours if I wrote all the things you write about. You do one hell of a job… I will … Read more
~Wednesday~ I took the Wolfline bus in this morning, as I needed to leave work at lunch time and the time interval between Wolfline buses is much smaller (every 10 minutes or so) than between city buses (every hour) during the time when I’d be needing my ride home. The bus was not very crowded, … Read more
~Monday~ I worked from home today because I was sick, so no buscapades. In the category of “Times-When-‘Being-Frugal’-Might-Not-Be-the-Best-Thing-to-Be-but-You-‘Be’-It-Anyway,” today I took NyQuil that had an expiration date of September 2009, and which I thought was Dayquil until about an hour after I took it, and I sucked on cough drops (last night and today) with … Read more
~Sunday~ I forgot to mention a couple of things from last night: 1) There was a guy at Flex, who if he didn’t enter the “Low Budget” category of the costume contest, he should have. His body was heavily tattooed, and he was completely naked except that his junk was stuck into a hard plastic … Read more
~Saturday~ I left my house at about 11:15 and went to Durham to help Robert move his couch and desk to his new place. For two old guys, we got it done without too much trouble. For lunch, we drove by Elmo’s Diner to find it way too busy to wait, and decided on Jimmy … Read more
~Saturday~ Evidently LiveJournal has introduced a search tool. Thank goodness! Not having one has long been one of the very few things that I don’t like about LJ. I’m not quite sure why I didn’t see an announcement on it; I found out via an e-mail from my friend Casey (cpeel): Howdy John, You’ll be … Read more
~Friday~ I caught the Wolfline bus in again today and it was the last bus that would get students to a 9:00 class, and as is usually the case in that situation, at about halfway into the route, it was nuts to butts down the center aisle and the “Bus Full” light went on passing … Read more
~Saturday~ Robert arrived at around 10:30, and we headed downtown to see the Dog Olympics, which is “a charitable event that is open to dogs of all breeds, shapes, and sizes. Medal events include athletic and non-athletic competitions such as doggie limbo, musical sit (similar to musical chairs), best beggar, best pet trick, Frisbee toss, … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:00 after almost twelve hours sleep. Glorious. After an English muffin, a hard-boiled egg, and some coffee, I caught up Thursday’s and Friday’s blog entries. I watched The Wire: Season 1: Episode 9: Game Day. Intense. I meant to capture this note I got from the dean of CHASS after the … Read more
