~Thursday~ At the bus stop, the weather felt crisp and I wondered what the temperature was. A quick check of The Weather Channel app on my CrackBerry indicated 59°, which I just couldn’t believe. “It can’t be that cold out here.” I checked wral.com’s weather page, and it said 67°, which seemed much more plausible. … Read more
~Wednesday~ The 7:45 city bus was on the late side, arriving at about 7:58. Who’s keeping track? When it pulled up, I noticed that its front and center sign that alternately displays the route (#12 Method) and the direction (Inbound or Outbound) indicated outbound. However, when it gets to my stop, it is inbound. I’m … Read more
~Labor Day Monday~ Oh glorious holiday! I slept in. Kevin (av8rdude) took my car to spend a few hours with some Raleigh friends of his, and I took advantage of the time at home to devise my Sunday blog entry; load dirty—and then unload clean—dishes from the dishwasher; and wash, dry, and fold a load … Read more
~Sunday~ Oh glorious sleeping in, I appreciated you so much this morning. I went to the gym at around 2:30, where I did 60 minutes of cardio work on the elliptical machine for an 1162-calorie burn. I really wasn’t “feeling it” today, and the inner dialog started right at about the 20-minute mark with, “I’m … Read more
~Saturday~ I woke up at 10:59, and I was happy to turn off my alarm that I thought was going to screech at 11:00, but it was actually set for 11:30. A quiet—less harsh—start to the day at any rate. I stopped by K-Mart on my way to the gym to either get that discount … Read more
~Friday~ I got to bed at 2:00AM, so the 5:45 AM alarm was too soon and not at all welcomed. I think this might be the first time—in the almost two years now that I’ve been riding the bus to work—that it’s been dark when I’ve walked to the bus stop. I caught the 6:15 city … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the 7:15 Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus this morning, where a college hottie waited for it to arrive with me. Well, technically, he wasn’t waiting with me. He had on a light blue/gray t-shirt that highlighted his erect nipples, and at one point he stretched raising his t-shirt up to expose the … Read more
~Monday~ We were up at 9:00, and down to see our girl Shirl by about 10:00. Once again, she followed behind us cleaning and straightening up. At one point, I went back for something, and she was bent over near me—with her buttocks too close to my face for my comfort—as I reached for a … Read more
~Friday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus, and Stagnant Driver drove up in the mobile steamer. At a subsequent stop, a girl got on and when she slid her fare card in the machine, it said, “Please pay fare shown.” She held her hand above the screen to block the sun to try and see … Read more
~Wednesday~ I woke up with a start and looked at my still silent alarm clock, which read 8:05. Huh? It was set to 7:30, but I evidently never turned it on. Thank goodness I recently cut my hair, otherwise there is no way in hell I could have skipped the “shit, shower, and shave” before … Read more
