~Wednesday~ Another non-rushed morning, hooray for that. I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16, but waited across the street from the stop in the sun. It arrived at 8:22. Who’s counting? The bus was pretty empty and for some unknown reason, I decided to count the number of people who got on at … Read more
~Sunday~ I hate, hate, hate that it’s the last day of vacation. Well, good morning to you, too. 🙂 I perused this week’s PostSecrets while enjoying my breakfast and coffee. Below is one of my favorite of this week’s entries, as it reminds me of what we do while we’re here as sentient beings—assign meaning … Read more
~Saturday, New Year’s Day~ I slept in again this morning. The precious few vacation days left are quickly dissipating. There were no New Year’s Day parades or football games on any of the TVs in my house today. Oh yeah, I don’t own any TVs. Just sayin’… The gym was only open from 10:00 – … Read more
~Thursday~ I woke up at about 8:45 to day goodbye to av8rdude, who was meeting a friend for breakfast and then heading on to DC to visit another friend on his “2010 East Coast Christmas Tour.” I went back to sleep and got up at about 10:30.

~Sunday~ I woke up to lots and lots of snow. The obligatory neighborhood snow pictures: My Back Deck The Nematomobile (My Car) (That’s it in the middle of the pic with just the edge of the front bumper exposed.)

~Saturday, Christmas Day~ I was up at 8:00, and shortly after that Joe called to wish me a Merry Christmas and to let me know that his dad had passed away earlier in the morning. Condolences to my dear friend and his family this Christmas Day. Rest in peace, Mr. Chason. I got on the … Read more
~Thursday~ I drove in this morning and in spite of having one parking permit left for 2010, I parked in the free two-hour street parking right behind my building as opposed to the parking deck where the permit is valid, which is quite a walk from my building. That meant I had to move my … Read more
~Wednesday~ I drove to work and parked in the two-hour free street parking right behind my building. Getting out of my car, I realized I’d left my wallet at home, and since that’s where the badge is that gives me access to our building, that was a problem. Without luck, I called two people to … Read more
