Ice Capades watched, willpower tested, kinky boots licked, and a new book emerges…

~Tuesday~ I got up late this morning, at 8:30, because it was a “work from home” day. It was a work from home day, because our office belongings—including our computers—were being moved for us from the second floor to the basement as noted in yesterday’s entry. But as it turned out, it was an adverse … Read more

A mode emerges, Black Love, a twofer shelter, a dismal view, and putting an end to The Help…

~Monday~  I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:15, and the bus arrived at 8:22. Not to get all back into frequency distribution and statistics, but I think 8:22 is starting to be a significant number. In the game of mean, median, mode, and range, 8:22 is clearly emerging as the mode. Who cares? … Read more

Back of neck kissing, lallygagging gym patrons, a brilliant ad campaign, working, and reading…

~Sunday~  I was up after eight hours of sleep and fixed a nice egg, sausage, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin, along with a pot of delicious Joe’s Coffee House Bourbon Pecan coffee. You know what’s coming next. It’s Sunday. I put on my country gospel CD, and read this week’s PostSecrets while enjoying … Read more

A useless frequency distribution, “Language!”, he knew Hugh, and lifting weights @ 11:00 at night…

~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

A jockeying position, superfluous office visits, as the world ends, and whip my hair…

~Tuesday~ I met my goal of getting more sleep and not rushing in the morning today. I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, and the bus arrived at 8:22. The driver was one of the steam heat drivers from earlier in the fall, but surprisingly, it was a rather comfortable temperature on the … Read more

Tired served up, poetic progress, people like me, erections, compelling history, & an early night..

~Monday~  I woke up tired this morning, which is what five hours of sleep serves up. I have got to make a concerted effort this year to get to bed earlier, and to give myself more time to get ready in the morning so that I’m not so rushed. That was the downside of my … Read more

Humans assigning meaning, rebel cheeseball-making, catching up with Joe, and this ain’t your gym…

~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

Christian arrogance, bumblebees & butterflies, a sad loss, and a drag queen goes to law school…

~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

Free parking, a forgotten badge, cheers for lunch, Sicily 2010, and a dancing shindig…

~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

Wicked repartee en francais, a retail friend, shattered life pieces, handy Lesbians, & no Joe-Joe’s

~Tuesday~  I drove in to work this morning, as I’ll do tomorrow and Thursdays, since they’re my last three working days of the year and I have exactly three parking permits left that expire at the end of 2010. And after Thursday, we’re off for the rest of the year. Yay! I did something today … Read more
