~Wednesday~ Another uncomfortably high-humidity morning boarding a bus with no air circulating whatsoever. During my short 10-15 minute ride, one person fanned himself with a magazine, one lady got up and took two CAT Bus Route pamphlets out of the rack and used those to fan herself, and the guy sitting across from me opened … Read more
~Sunday~ On my way back from the beach, I stopped for gas, and saw this sign above my pump. I’m still trying to get my head around the magical age of 27. I mentioned on Friday that my friend Hugh and I had a discussion about how the priest at my ex-brother-in-law’s memorial service had disinvited … Read more
~Saturday~ My mom was one of seven children. Her oldest sister (Rita), and her oldest brother (Raymond) died many years ago; however, she’s lost three of her other four siblings in 2010: February 4, 2010, her baby sister. Annette L. Casmiro Annette, 72, was born on June 26, 1937 and passed away on Thursday, February … Read more
~Friday~ I drove in to work again this morning, but instead of using a scratch-off parking pass, I parked in a two-hour zone near my building. At a little after 8:30, I saw an update from one of my cousin’s daughter that her “Pépère” had died. That’s the French word for grandfather—and what I called … Read more
~Tuesday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at the corners of Gorman and Kaplan, and although the temperature was in the 70’s, the humidity was at 75%. Moist. I would describe the university bus this morning as fairly full, but not crowded. The Asian guy I’ve portrayed a couple of times, who usually … Read more
~Sunday~ I woke up at 10:00 and called the front desk to request a late checkout of noon instead of 11:00. No problem. I rode out to Donna and Rob’s for brunch, where the Gregory’s still were, anticipating their 3:00-3:30 departure to the airport for a 4:45 flight. Russ, Pam, and Jan went for a … Read more
~Wednesday~ I just made it to the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, such that I crossed the street and walked right on it. At the last minute yesterday, my colleague and peer manager to mine, Sarah, asked me to fill in as the back-up presenter for this morning’s student orientation. I got there a little … Read more
~Thursday~ I drove over to the Avent Ferry post office to mail two items—one birthday card and one thank-you card—before heading to work this morning. At the corner of Kaplan and Gorman, I caught the 8:04 Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, on which there were 7 riders in addition to myself when I boarded. At … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was running behind schedule this morning, so I drove down the street and parked by the Wolfline #9 Greek Village Kaplan/Gorman stop. I’d scoped out the location of the bus online before leaving the house, so I pretty much arrived just before it did. I love technology when it works and makes life … Read more
~Saturday~ Internet and e-mail access on my Blackberry was still out this morning when I turned on my phone. I tried to make a phone call and found out that that wasn’t working either. I thought it was just the data plan part that wasn’t working. Checking the “Manage Connections” settings, I found everything indicating … Read more
