~Saturday~ I met my friend Hugh at Helios for some coffee, company, and to deliver my organization’s collection for Love Wins Ministry. As always, Hugh and I had great conversation, mostly about things that matter. We walked out together, and I transferred the goods to his car with him, and he was off to meet Jennifer, … Read more
~Saturday~ Ricardo and I were up at around 10:30, by which time Kevin was long gone out to Morrisville to referee his first tournament soccer game that started at 8:00. We had a bagel and some coffee, and after about an hour-and-a-half we headed out to Morrisville to watch a couple of (potentially, depending on … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the Wolfline bus in again this morning, and what a difference a day (or two or three) makes. It was the most crowded I’ve ever seen the bus—everyone must have had 8:00 exams. It was also the most assertive I’ve ever seen any bus driver be as she knew it was going … Read more
~Friday~ I was really behind this morning. I caught a Wolfline bus, close to 9:00. It was more crowded than I thought it would be, as it would arrive on campus too late for a 9:00 class. It was crowded enough that the aisle filled up to the point that eventually someone completely obstructed my … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was running around at the last minute before walking to the bus stop looking for my small black Totes umbrella, which was nowhere to be found. I ended up having to take my big-ass red-and-white IBM umbrella, which I’m surprised isn’t blue-and-white, but which works well at NC State since its colors are red-and-white. Traveling … Read more
~Wednesday~ The bus this morning brought us Madonna and Genetically-Beautiful Daughter in the front of the long center-facing seat on the right side of the bus, and passing them to choose my seat, I heard Sophia ask her mother, “But what about Mr. Wiggles?” Approaching the second or third stop after mine, I saw a hot—but … Read more
~Sunday~ I forgot to mention a couple of things from last night: 1) There was a guy at Flex, who if he didn’t enter the “Low Budget” category of the costume contest, he should have. His body was heavily tattooed, and he was completely naked except that his junk was stuck into a hard plastic … Read more
~Saturday~ Evidently LiveJournal has introduced a search tool. Thank goodness! Not having one has long been one of the very few things that I don’t like about LJ. I’m not quite sure why I didn’t see an announcement on it; I found out via an e-mail from my friend Casey (cpeel): Howdy John, You’ll be … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up a year older at 6:30 for a 7:00 departure to the Maltby Café in Snohomish, WA with Kevin and Ricardo. My friend Steve H. in Raleigh recommended this place from when he used to live here. Their claim to fame is their cinnamon buns the size of a cake. Maltby Cafe … Read more
~Monday~ I slept in until about 9:00. Kevin took Ricardo to a doctor’s appointment this morning, and when he returned, we headed downtown to see the Central Branch of the Seattle Public Library. We stopped at “Dick’s Drive-In,” which is a lot like the Char-Grills in Raleigh. We each ordered a “Dick’s Deluxe,” fries, and … Read more
