~Thursday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in this morning, as I had a meeting in the Talley Student Center from where there are two bus options home that run more often than the city bus at that time. The bus wasn’t very crowded when I first got on and I took an inventory of the … Read more
~Tuesday~ A couple got on the bus—the gentleman first, followed by the lady. He put his money into the machine, grabbed his printed fare card, and started down the aisle toward a seat. The lady stood in front of the fare machine, turned toward him, and with her hands on her hips hollered, “What? You … Read more
~Tuesday~ Again this morning, none of my peeps were present on the bus. I’m beginning to wonder if they all got cars for Christmas. I took a seat in front of a man who was eating his breakfast in his seat. I immediately thought of the recording that plays as the bus turns from Hillsborough … Read more
~Tuesday~ I slept in this morning. Glorious vacation. I made my way back to the gym this afternoon—The prodigal son returns to Planet Fitness, if you will. Fortunately for me, there was a Bring-Your-Own-Fatt(en)ed-Calves party going on there today, so I fit right in. During my workout, which consisted of 60 minutes on the treadmill … Read more
~Tuesday~ The bus was running late this morning—almost five minutes past the time when it usually is the latest that it arrives. I put on my patience hat, which never has fit very well. Entering the bus, I was greeted by an ear-piercingly loud noise that continued the entire trip. I don’t know how the bus … Read more
~Monday~ Wrong Way Willie was driving this morning, but he took the correct route today. I suppose he may never live down the fact that he took a wrong turn one day. I certainly can’t see myself dropping it. I’m going to go ahead and rename a character here, and I’ll mention both of her … Read more
~Sunday~ I got up at a little after 11:00, made my Scrabble move, and then put on a pot of coffee. After a few back-and-forth moves with Robert in the online Scrabble game, I toasted a Portuguese muffin, cut it in half lengthwise, fried two over-easy eggs, set one on each half of the muffin, … Read more
~Sunday~ I am enjoying the massa I received at Thanksgiving from my parents (as a belated birthday present) and I only have a couple left so you can expect only two more reports about it as a breakfast roll. Today, I skipped the egg (since I had three of them in that breakfast combo I … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:30 and had a most delicious breakfast sandwich, consisting of turkey sausage, an over-easy egg, and a slice of American cheese melted on top—all on a Portuguese sweet roll. Heaven. I had just logged into Facebook to check out Robert’s Scrabble move, which he usually makes in the morning before … Read more
~Tuesday~ While I waited for the bus this morning, a college student walked by walking his dachshund, which had the most interesting coloring. It looked like this little guy, except all gray and black even on the paws. What made it even more interesting to me, and made me audibly chuckle actually, was that the … Read more
