This would be a classic example of the rhetorical device known as the double entendre. Go Wilkinson blades! I hope I don’t have another dream about Oprah’s carpet after seeing this. I’m just saying… I finally got around to doing a good cleaning of my kitchen floor after its run-in with my washing machine overflow, … Read more
Today’s buscapade is about being hot… and not in a good way. This morning, the driver I’ve dubbed “The Sultan of Sweat” was driving the bus. The first thing I had to do after taking my seat was to take off my jacket. This is the same driver who, a few weeks ago, I had … Read more
Today’s buscapade has to do with men in hats… and hoods. The difference in temperature comfort zones in people always amazes me. It was not that cold today, and yet at each of three different bus stops, a guy got on the bus with a ball cap on and a hood pulled over it. It was … Read more
My day started off with a nice affirmation in my inbox from my boss. She had sent me (yesterday before going to Mitch’s with the group) a copy of the framework of my work plan (described below) to review, and in the email she said, “Thanks in advance for all you’ve done to ‘advance the … Read more
This morning’s buscapades: I practiced “just-in-time” bus stop arrival this morning. Literally, I walked up to the bus stop and onto the bus. Not a second to spare. Once on, it was hot, hot, hot, hot, hot in there, and not in a good way. I used that “hot, hot, hot” line about my office … Read more
My favorite tweet from today: chrisblake Googling the Web’s biggest regrets: http: //tinyurl.com/63xg3m about 1 hour ago What do you know? A heart-warming story made the news… “Their names immortalized (Boston Globe) Ironworkers spray paint names of young cancer patients onto the beams of the Yawkey Center going up at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.” Click … Read more
I forgot to mention a couple of things about yesterday: When I got home from work neither my trash can nor my recycle bin, both of which I had put out in the morning, were anywhere to be found. I spotted a trash can halfway down the hill upon which I live, laying on its … Read more
OMG. ROTFLMAO. This is hysterical. I just love Ellen. It was hot as Hades on the bus this morning—so hot, in fact, that I had to get up and ask the bus driver to please turn down the heat. I guess new bus riders just have to fumble around to discover things. Today, after riding … Read more
I worked from home today, since I had no meetings and needed to run to my eye doctor’s during lunchtime to get my partially-rimless glasses fixed. I had them hanging from the collar of my shirt on Saturday, and when @justis hugged me at Helios, a wire snapped that holds the lenses in and the right … Read more
I had not heard that Jennifer Hudson sang the National Anthem at the Superbowl! Thanks to my friend Joe for pointing me to this vid. I want to be a fat, black woman with a phenomenal voice. I’m a third of the way there! 🙂 It was biting cold this morning, and the stinging chill … Read more
