~Thursday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus in, but only took it half the distance I usually take it, as I had a meeting in another building at 9:00—or so I thought. I got off the bus at the Gorman/Sullivan Streets intersection and walked the short way down the street to the Admin II building. … Read more
~Monday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus, and there were only two people already on when I boarded. At the next stop, a sync stop, the bus driver actually got out of the bus holding his pointer and middle finger up saying, “Two minutes folks,” as he departed. He played on his smart phone for … Read more
~Sunday~ Here are two things I wanted to capture last night, but forgot to—both having to do with songs I heard on Foxy 107/104 on the way downtown to Courtney’s gig at Hibernian: The first was this song with the most inane lyrics by a guy with a deep—trying to be sexy—voice à la Barry … Read more
~Saturday~ I stayed close to home, well at home to be exact, until about 5:30 at which time my stomach felt settled enough to venture to the gym. I did cardio work, with 60 minutes on the elliptical machine for a 1070-calorie burn, during which I listened to the Recordings for Someone podcast episode of … Read more
~Friday~ In a repeat performance of Wednesday, Jen picked me up to ride into work together, as I was once again her back-up presenter / assistant at this morning’s Information Technology presentation to the students at New Student Orientation (NSO). And once again, we stopped in the office before walking over to the Cinema in … Read more
~Monday~ It was not overly sunny this morning, but it was hot and there was no breeze. A bird sat perched at the top of the bus stop sign, right in the middle of it like it was placed there rather than having just landed there. I took a picture of it with my cell … Read more
~Sunday~ I got to the gym today, where I did an upper body workout, followed by 200 ab crunches. I did 10 sets of 20 reps, and had intended to do another five sets of 20, but a sudden bout of nausea put that idea to rest, tout de suite. Most of you know by … Read more
~Tuesday~ This morning, for 8:30 in the morning, well it was just plain hot already. Stagnant air. High humidity. Hot. The entire ten minutes I wilted waiting for the bus, I had one recurring thought, “Please let it be cool on the bus. Please let it be cool on the bus.” The bus pulled up … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 8:00 and had a quick breakfast and some coffee before getting on the road to Durham. I met Robert at The Streets at Southpoint, where I took my cooler and jumped into Robert’s sister’s pick-up truck. We drove to an “upscale home” not far from the mall, where we loaded … Read more
~Friday~ I ran behind this morning, so I drove up to the Wolfline stop, and I approached the Kaplan / Gorman intersection just as the Wolfline bus did, which is to say, I missed it. Checking the current whereabouts of the next one on my phone, I knew I had about ten minutes to wait, … Read more
