~Friday~ I ran behind this morning, so I drove up to the Wolfline stop, and I approached the Kaplan / Gorman intersection just as the Wolfline bus did, which is to say, I missed it. Checking the current whereabouts of the next one on my phone, I knew I had about ten minutes to wait, … Read more
~Wednesday~ While waiting for the 8:15 city bus, that Golden Retriever came out to do his on-demand poo, and as soon as he looked up and saw me at the bus stop, he did a trot up toward me ignoring his owner, whom I’m quite sure was calling, “Riley! Riley!” I thought he liked me … Read more
~Saturday~ I had a lazy Saturday during the day at least. Around mid-afternoon, I made a grocery run that included purchasing a watermelon, which I later cubed up (and de-seeded even though it was a seedless watermelon) to take to Hugh’s party later in the afternoon. I spent a little time looking at an article … Read more
~Friday~ I waited on the opposite side of the street of the bus stop, since it’s starting to warm up in the morning, and it’s shady on that side of the street. I was caught up in Facebook on my BlackBerry when the bus appeared at the intersection, and I scooted across the street. At … Read more
~Monday~ I got up at 10:00 and after a shower and some breakfast, I made a grocery store run for hot dogs, buns, and potato salad. Robert arrived between 12:00 and 12:30 and at about 1:45, we left for Joe’s Memorial Day cookout. We grazed on potato chips—Salt & Vinegar and Sharp Cheddar varieties—while Joe … Read more
~Wednesday~ There were several people on the bus with ear buds in and listening to gadgets, which is not really that usual for the city bus. They were all guys, and three of them sat right around me. One of them also had a lot of bracelets going on. Here he is: I took the … Read more
~Friday~ The African-American girl who was at the stop on Tuesday, with the shoes and ball cap and didn’t find her knight in shining armor on the bus, was at the stop as I approached. Coming from the other direction was said knight, running that brush through his lack of hair. They didn’t even say … Read more
~Thursday~ At the bus stop, I had this thought: “We expect our dogs to be regular.” This was brought about as someone who lives with the back of their townhouse facing the bus stop stepped outside with his Golden Retriever, which walked around a little in what I projected to be an attempt to squat … Read more
~Sunday~ During the night, I woke up at least three times within a span of about ten minutes, waking myself out of nightmares that continued once I feel back asleep. Very restless and disconcerting. Coincidentally and interestingly, one of the first things I saw online this morning was an article on MSN with the headline: … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:30, had breakfast, and did a little bit of work on the agenda for our Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors meeting, before showering and heading to Durham for it. We had a productive meeting, with a guest presentation by Aden, an accountant volunteer who’s done a ton of work … Read more
