~Friday~ It wasn’t overly hot this morning, but I still waited on the shady side of the street. In contrast to the one or two people that have been on in the past couple of weeks, the bus actually had 8-10 people on it already when I boarded. Library Man was aboard, and since there … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus. On board, the air was stagnant. The driver was the same one as yesterday, who mustn’t get hot herself, nor think beyond herself of the potential comfort, or discomfort as it were, of her customers. It was uncomfortable enough that I wondered if it wasn’t worth trying to … Read more
~Wednesday~ Once again, I waited for the bus on the shady side of the street. You can assume this for the rest of the summer. It will be newsworthy when I don’t stand on the shady side. Stagnant. There was absolutely no air circulating on the bus when I boarded. It wasn’t hot, per se, … Read more
~Monday~ I was up at about 9:30 this morning, and after a bagel and some coffee for breakfast, I cut up a seedless watermelon to take to Joe’s this afternoon. After that, and before Robert arrived, I ran to the Food Lion to get hot dog buns and potato salad, but actually got macaroni salad, … Read more
~Friday~ At 8:05, I realized that I was supposed to be at the Witherspoon building this morning as the back-up to a colleague who was presenting the IT information to the students at New Student Orientation. Knowing I could neither make it on the university bus line nor on the city bus line, I drove … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus, on which I was the third to board, preceded only by these two women, who talked almost non-stop my entire ride. Actually, it would be more accurate to say the woman on the right talked most of the way, and the other one listened. She had the highest … Read more
~Tuesday~ Today was a first in that I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:20, and I actually missed the bus. Well, I waited until 8:31, as it’s never been later than 8:30. I checked the whereabouts of the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, and saw that I could catch it if I drove … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up fairly early for a Saturday, at 9:00, since I’d had a good long nap before going to bed last night. Glorious sleep. Wish I got more of it. That sentiment reminds me of a quote I saw somewhere recently: “Time flies. Fortunately, we’re the pilot.” Which is to say, “It’s my … Read more
~Tuesday~ While waiting for the bus this morning on the shady, opposite side of the street, an empty taxi cab turned onto Kaplan Street with his window down. He saw me looking at him as he neared me, and he said out his window, “Need a taxi?” “No thanks, I’m waiting on the bus,” I … Read more
~Sunday~ We were up at 10:00 and checked out at about 11:30. We stopped by the Drunkin’ Donuts, where we encountered the most incredibly slow service ever. I finished my donut while Joe waited for them to make two cups of coffee for him. On the way out, I said to him, “If I lived … Read more
