A social kind of day: Mostly Social Book Club from 3:00-5:30 and Salon from 6:30-11:00…

~Sunday~ I finished the Manbites board of directors meeting minutes this morning, and sent them to Jeff and Ed for review, before making them available to the full board. I got a chuckle out of this postcard in this week’s PostSecrets: I met Sharon, Suzanne, and Janet out at the Brier Creek Caribou for this … Read more

A productive board meeting, a lunch with Moxie, hours of minutes, and shirtless men drink free…

~Saturday~ I was up at 7:30 this morning, and I left for Durham at 9:45, so as not to be rushed for my 10:30 meeting downtown. We had a productive Manbites Dog Theater board meeting, which was scheduled to end at noon, and we actually adjourned at 11:50. My kind of calendar integrity. I ran … Read more

Cracked out coffee drinkers, two elaborately eliminated samples, and a possible prognosis…

~Friday~ I worked from Bruegger’s Bagels at Mission Valley this morning until leaving at about 10:30 for my 11:00 doctor’s appointment out at RTP. While I was waiting in the line, I looked around to see if my award was framed and hanging anywhere, but I didn’t see it. When it came time to pay, … Read more

A bumbling boarder, a three-meeting workday, celebratory drinks, and The Help pleases…

~Thursday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:18. Because the bus didn’t arrive until 8:25, and there was no one else waiting at the stop after that deluge of students yesterday, I was starting to wonder if I’d missed it getting out there at 8:18. I guess those students only have Monday-Wednesday classes … Read more

Razor blade extensions, students at the bus stop and back to school, and dancing…

~Wednesday~  A while ago, my friend Bob, who reads my blog and knows I haven’t changed the blade in my razor since February 4, 2011, gave me an ARKO shaving soap stick, saying that it gives him such a smooth, smooth shave (of his head), and joking that it could probably allow me to use … Read more

Pill boxes, 2 X PROTEIN, non-sexual orientation, drinking, and the holy trinity of drinking…

~Monday~  I had another big ol’ bowl of All-Bran Bran Buds cereal for breakfast and brushed my teeth right after eating it, which was gross. Nothing worse than a fiber-toothed tiger. Packing my lunch to bring into the office, I couldn’t find my pill box. Not my pillbox hat; I know where that is—right there … Read more

Bran buddies, John is a dull boy, my final film of this year’s festival, and a compelling read…

~Saturday~ I was up at 7:30 this morning, after some very weird, very “involved” dreams. I didn’t mention my stop at the grocery store yesterday on the way home from the gym, but while there, I bought a box of All-Bran cereal and ate a huge bowl of it for dinner last night, along with … Read more

Still not well, prodigal gym trip, TWC & Twitter again, and a celebrity quiz…

~Friday~ I took a sick day today, and went back to sleep after sending an email to that effect to my boss. I took two more Pepto-Bismol tablets. I woke up at 11:25 and downstairs adding the coffee to my coffeemaker, which is right under my calendar on the side of the fridge, I noticed … Read more
