~Thursday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in this morning, as I had a meeting in the Talley Student Center from where there are two bus options home that run more often than the city bus at that time. The bus wasn’t very crowded when I first got on and I took an inventory of the … Read more
~Tuesday~ In a rare move indeed, I drove in to work today. As a public transportation user, which the university pays for so I ride free, I also get about 14 free parking passes per year to use “just in case.” I can use these passes, on which you scratch (but not sniff) three circles—one … Read more
~Sunday~ I had a relaxing morning, enjoying coffee, breakfast, and some online Scrabble with Robert. Refilling my “pill box” for the week, I found my last Nexium in the bottle, so got online and refilled the prescription via the K-Mart pharmacy website. I spent a good portion of my late morning and early afternoon catching … Read more
~Tuesday~ A couple got on the bus—the gentleman first, followed by the lady. He put his money into the machine, grabbed his printed fare card, and started down the aisle toward a seat. The lady stood in front of the fare machine, turned toward him, and with her hands on her hips hollered, “What? You … Read more
~Sunday~ At 9:30, I headed out to Durberville to see Tess. Not really. But, I did head to Durham to attend our 10:00-11:30 Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors Meeting. It was a very good and productive meeting, one where emotions got a little high, but with everyone’s obvious commitment to the success of the … Read more
~Friday~ I was back on the city bus and back at 8:15. I took a seat across and one row back from Sci-Fi Fantasy Man, who was wearing a very nice London Fog charcoal-colored trench coat and heads down in a book. His books are usually small and thin. This one was larger and thicker … Read more
~Tuesday~ I caught the 6:45 bus this morning and part of the trip was déjà vu and the other part brand spanking new. I’m a poet and don’t know it. I can make a rhyme any old time. The part that was déjà vu was the two people who got off the bus just as … Read more
~Friday~ This morning, I took the bus seat in front of Sci-Fi Fantasy Man who was, well, reading science fiction fantasy, as that’s what he does. I was just happy to see him. In addition to the standard, long bus rear view mirror, on this bus there was a little round mirror as well—about a … Read more
~Tuesday~ Again this morning, none of my peeps were present on the bus. I’m beginning to wonder if they all got cars for Christmas. I took a seat in front of a man who was eating his breakfast in his seat. I immediately thought of the recording that plays as the bus turns from Hillsborough … Read more
