~Saturday~ I futzed around today, eventually getting to the grocery store at 4:00. Once home, I made up some Clam & Cream Cheese Dip, and browned Italian Sausage that I’d bought for dinner. Robert arrived at a little after 5:00, and we enjoyed the dip with some pretzels while I heated up the three-cheese spaghetti … Read more
Wednesday’s buscapade: There was a lady on the bus this morning of whom I’ve spoken before, but not enough to name. The most notable thing about her is that she’s one of those people who speaks very loudly, which being the ubiquitous bus attribute that it is, doesn’t exactly single her out to you, I’m … Read more
This morning’s buscapade evoked two thoughts: There’s no eating, smoking, drinking, or profanity on the CAT bus. Frances Conroy‘s character Ruth Fisher on HBO’s Six Feet Under, “Language!” A man got on the bus on his cell phone, taking a seat maybe two rows behind me. He was in the midst of heated (read: screaming) discussion … Read more
It’s been a while since and indexed blog entry has really struck me.

John was a dull boy today. I worked for about seven hours, but at least it was work that I like, and the time just flew by. At times, I was in what Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi would called “flow.” Since not too much happened today, I’m going to take advantage of this cyber real estate, and … Read more
I had two meetings canceled at work today, which left me with none. Sweet! I worked all day on finishing up those tedious meeting minutes I was working on yesterday. Still tedious. Someone tweeted a link to this today: And a major FAIL on failblog.org: And, finally, this in from Kirk who told us about … Read more
We had our hour-and-a-half working team meeting this morning, which was quite productive, and we ended with 15 minutes to spare. As usual, it was absolutely freaking freezing in the conference room. I had two afternoon meetings today, one from 1:00-2:00, and another, across campus, from 2:00-4:00. I thought I’d go to the first 45 … Read more
We got up at around 10:00, and Robert made coffee in the little 4-cup hotel coffee maker, after which we walked to the IHOP for a late breakfast. We had the best service, and on the way out, I asked to speak to the manager: “I just wanted to let you know that our server, … Read more
I worked from home and was glad to have the opportunity to do so. I had two loads of laundry done by 8:30, since I started working at 6:00 in order to be able to stop by 3:00. Today was my 15th anniversary of living my authentic life. What prompted me to do it after … Read more
One thing that’s interesting about Twitter, and its connection to Facebook’s status field, is that you just never know what kind of comment is going to spark wild conversation. At work, right before lunch, I went to the restroom, and upon returning to my office, I tweeted: I hate, hate, HATE urinals beside sinks in … Read more
