~Monday~ This morning there was somewhat of a Buscapade Character Reunion on the bus. Swapping Dollar was aboard, and none-to-happy about Arguing Man being in his seat up front, where he (Swapping Dollar) usually sits talking to the bus driver. You remember Swapping Dollar—the character formerly known as Cochise. Jackie O’ Lantern, another of that … Read more
~Thursday~ I’ve seen the man before who sat in the seat in front of me on the bus this morning. I’m quite sure he’s a veteran of some war. He wears some sort of orange medical band on his left wrist and usually has his walking cane draped over the seat in front of him. … Read more
~Sunday~ Once again we were up at 9:00. Robert was a dear and ventured to the lobby to wade through the mob and bring breakfast back to our room. Thanks, my sweet! We were on the road by about 10:40, and we had an uneventful ride home, which actually took less than two hours. Yay! … Read more
~Sunday~ I fixed the most delicious—if I may say so myself (I just did, actually)—Western omelets for breakfast today. They were accompanied by two turkey sausage links each and a half of a bagel each. And coffee (of course!) made by Robert. I’m coming down the home stretch in terms of being ready for my … Read more
~Thursday~ This morning Library Guy—who wears glasses, is usually totally silent on the bus, doesn’t make eye contact, and almost always reads, usually a magazine in his field of study—was yammering away with the lady behind me, who was the lady I mentioned a week or two ago who at that time was reading a … Read more
~Monday~ The lady sitting in the seat on the opposite side of the bus, and one row up from me had on a multi-colored dress—deep, dark colors of swirled images. She had on dangling earrings that resembled a tiny cluster of grapes, but with each “grape” exactly matching one of the colored swirls in her dress. … Read more
~Saturday~ I slept in this morning. Glorious. Just before I left for the gym, the sky opened up, and I opened my door to find last night’s spiderweb all but destroyed. There were only two strands left, and no sign of the spider, which was the best part of all. I got soaked even with a … Read more
~Friday~ I worked from home this morning. My exterminator was scheduled to arrive some time between 8AM and 10AM, and he arrived at about 8:05. New guy. Latino. Hair poking out of top unbuttoned shirt button. About a 7 out of 10. I met Anna, Kim, and Brad at The Third Place for Friday Latte. … Read more
~Monday~ I was under the weather all weekend, and still wasn’t up to snuff today, so I took a sick day. Some great things I’ve heard or read over the past couple of days: “I’m at a loss for words as to what to say when God sneezes.” “If you see a turtle on a … Read more
~Sunday~ Last night, Joe and I had talked about possibly meeting at Panera Bread for breakfast this morning, but I didn’t really feel up to it, and he was gracious enough to change plans. I had two eggs over easy, some toast, and coffee here at the house. I forgot to mention yesterday that I … Read more
