~Tuesday~ The 8:15 bus was once again commandeered by the outdoorsy loud hello bus driver—who I actually like in case you can’t tell. I think I’ve mentioned these two Hispanic ladies before—they each have a child, and they always sit across the aisle from one another as opposed to in front of or behind each … Read more
~Monday~ The 8:15 city bus arrived at 8:26. Who’s keeping track? I had just dialed the CAT line and had been instructed to “Press 1 to continue in English,” when screaming sirens came up so fast and so close that I couldn’t hear anything on the other end of the line, so I hung up. … Read more
~Friday~ I was back on the 8:15 city bus this morning, and that “outdoorsy” looking girl was driving, and I immediately thought of the drama that happened out at Cameron Village yesterday: No Kissing at Cameron Village? Or no kissing if you’re gay? The Magazine Lady was aboard reading a small, mail-order catalog. She stopped … Read more
~Thursday~ I was running all kinds of behind this morning, so being too late for the 8:15 city bus, I drove up to the Wolfline #9 Greek Village stop up on Gorman Street close to Avent Ferry Road, where I haven’t parked since they completed the repaving of Gorman. It’s obvious that you are once again allowed … Read more
~Wednesday~ I arrived at the bus stop at 7:48, and it hadn’t come by 8:00, so I drove down the street to catch the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Kaplan and Gorman. In that short drive, I heard on a morning radio show that a couple just had their third baby on 10-10-10. What … Read more
~Tuesday~ The 8:15 city bus came at 8:25. While I waited, I checked my e-mail on my BlackBerry, where I found a link to a review of Breadcrumbs, Manbites Dog’s current production, and I sent a link to it to Robert and Casey. Read other reviews. Some random thoughts I had on the bus ride … Read more
~Monday~ Now more than ever, it’s important to come out. Closets are for clothes, not people. Come out, come out, wherever you are. In light of the recent early arrival of the 7:45 bus, I was out at the stop at 7:44. It came at 7:50. Magazine Lady was aboard, but she wasn’t reading a … Read more
~Wednesday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 7:47, and by 8:00 the bus hadn’t yet come. A young black kid and that Asian man I mentioned yesterday were waiting as well. At about 7:55, the Asian Man pounded madly on his back for about a minute, and then took off sprinting down the … Read more
~Tuesday~ As I was walking up to the city bus stop, a student (at least he was young and wore a backpack) walked past me, presumably walking down to the Wolfline stop at Gorman and Kaplan. I had to resist saying, “Excuse me. Are you a student? ‘Cause if you are, you can just catch … Read more
~Monday~ I got to the stop for the 7:45 bus at 7:49, which is really pushing it, but I knew I hadn’t missed the bus because there were two other people waiting there for it. They both boarded before me, and the second guy was a “piggy banker,” so once he emptied his pocket of … Read more
