~Thursday~ Tonight, when I returned from my workout at: this is what I saw at my front door when I pulled into my parking spot that faces it: Here is the series of questions and thoughts that went through my mind: Who would be sending these to me? What’s the date? Is it an occasion … Read more
~Wednesday~ As the day began to draw to an end, I had to squeeze in my 30-minute walk. With a pizza in the oven and 20 minutes left on the timer, I set out to get 15 minutes of my 30 minutes in, because if I’d’ve waited until after the pizza was ready and I’d … Read more
~Wednesday~ There’s a large park on Kaplan Drive—within a stone’s throw of my house, and close to Kent Road. It’s always been a little bothery [sic] to me that the name of this park is Kentwood Park, because although it’s next to Kent Road, it’s actually on Kaplan Drive. “Why not Kaplanwood Park?” you might … Read more
~Thursday~ I decided—on a whim really—to go check out the Man vs. Sandwich Contest being held at one of my favorite watering holes tonight, The Borough. To my suprise—and his, actually—my friend Paul Finger was chosen to meet the challenge of eating a giant sandwich in 30 minutes, with the prize being free food for … Read more
~Sunday~ I had my alarm set for 7:30, but I woke up at 7:15 and got up after a few minutes. I took Nala1 on a walk, and decided to cross Maynard Road and walk around the middle school property across the street. At one point, all of a sudden, Nala lurched into an area … Read more
~Wednesday~ I had a delicious dinner at The Pit this evening, where I enjoyed the: Chopped Barbecue – pit-cooked overnight, chopped and seasoned Eastern North Carolina style. $11.99 The food was good. The company was good. Then, what's the point of this post?” you ask. So, one person in our party ordered unsweetened tea with no sugar, … Read more
~Monday~ Two very unlikely things happened to me today, one of them probably as unlikely as winning the mega-lottery. Speaking of the lottery, these ten things were more likely to happen than winning that recent half-billion-plus dollar lottery: Dating a super model: 1-in-88,000 Drowning in the bathtub: 1-in-840,000 Dying by falling off a ladder: 1-in-2.3 … Read more
~Friday~ I parked at the Avent Ferry Park & Ride this morning to catch the Wolfline bus into work. Being dropped off there just now after work, I ran into Food Lion to pick up a few things. This was probably 80% of my order, and the young lady (college student) said as she was … Read more
~Wednesday~ I got my 30-minute walk in today by walking from my office on Hillsborough Street down to the Cameron Village Library, where I returned The Art of Racing in the Rain, which I finished last night and was due today. I dropped the book in the “Adult Books Return,” which always sounds like a … Read more
~Tuesday~ Today I’m thankful that I have a job in which I can adjust my lunch hour to accommodate the Cameron Village branch of the US Post Office, which has decided to take its lunch hour when I normally would take mine. I arrived there at 1:05, five minutes into being open after their 12:00-1:00 … Read more
