~Thursday~ I went to catch the Wolfline bus at 8:00 to meet a student in the MS in Technical Communication program at 8:30 at Reverie coffee shop on Hillsborough Street, just down the street from my office. Not two minutes after I arrived at the stop, I remembered that it was Easter Break for the … Read more
~Monday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, on which I sat across from a thin Asian girl eating a piece of toast. It was unbuttered, and I can’t even begin to articulate how slowly she ate it. She must have chewed this one bite one hundred times. It so reminded … Read more
~Saturday~ We were up shortly after eight, and at the NC State’s Farmers’ Market Restaurant for breakfast by 10:00. We each had their most delicious French Toast. I had an egg over easy on the side with mine, and Robert had a side of bacon with his. Back at home, I was in and out, … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in this morning, on which I counted 9 ads above the seats on one side of the bus. Three of them were “house ads”: one about Wolfline’s Holiday/Break Schedule, one about the “Wolfprowl” bus, and the other about NC State Transportation’s Go Pass program. There weren’t too many students … Read more
~Thursday~ Today was my meeting day from hell, which I alluded to in Monday’s blog entry: Due to that 4:00 meeting, which was in the Talley Student Center, which is most convenient to a slew of Wolfline buses but only one city bus, I took a Wolfline bus in this morning. It wasn’t jammed packed … Read more
~Saturday~ I met Patrick Barclay for lunch at noon at The Diner. We had good conversation, and a good brunch once our ham and cheese omelets were whisked away and our actual-ordered three-cheese omelets arrived. They had a shortage of pens there, and to that end they grabbed ours just as soon as we finished … Read more
~Wednesday~ There were only two people on the bus when I boarded this morning, and one of them had a scowl on her face, as if she were unhappy to be riding the bus. It made me think about my attitude about riding the bus. I really enjoy it. However, I don’t have to ride … Read more
~Saturday~ I enjoyed a delicious cinnamon and raisin bagel for breakfast. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had a bagel, and I do love them. I put butter on one half and reduced fat cream cheese on the other. Surprisingly, I liked the cream cheese half better. I had lunch with Joe out at … Read more
~Wednesday~ The city bus stops for me at a stop that is right after turning left onto Kaplan from Kent. This morning the bus did something I’ve never seen it do before. While it was stopped at that intersection waiting to turn left, where there’s a stop sign, it opened its doors and let someone … Read more
~Saturday~ Although it had stopped snowing by morning, its remnants were all about. With my morning coffee in hand, I opened the blinds on the windows facing my back deck, to a scene that prompted me to write this haiku: No sound on my deck. Is that the white noise of snow? Beautiful morning. While … Read more
