Closets are for clothes, a meetingless work day, drinks with Jeff, & dinner with Joe…

~Monday~  Now more than ever, it’s important to come out. Closets are for clothes, not people. Come out, come out, wherever you are. In light of the recent early arrival of the 7:45 bus, I was out at the stop at 7:44. It came at 7:50. Magazine Lady was aboard, but she wasn’t reading a … Read more

Drinking my way to the east coast, a Nu Skin buddy, lives after death, and pocket rockets…

~Sunday~  After a SSS and packing for my imminent check-out, I met Anna over at Wasatch Bagels Cafe, where for breakfast I had a 9-grain bagel with egg and cheese on it, along with a cup of coffee. Back at the hotel, I checked out, and Anna drove me to the airport early for my … Read more

Carlos and Kim’s Wedding in Park City, Utah…

~Saturday~  I got up earlier than I anticipated, and as beautiful as that king size bed looked, its mattress was not as firm I prefer and my back was hurting a little. That, together with breathing through my mouth instead of my nose all night, which resulted in waking up once at 2:30, again at … Read more

Fun with anesthesia patients, an affirmed presentation, and the regional premier of Breadcrumbs…

~Thursday~  Joe picked me up at 7:00 this morning and took me to his doctor’s office, where I was to have a “Fun-with-people-coming-out-of-anesthesia Day.” The waiting room had free wi-fi in it, so I actually got some work done, mostly [still] refining my presentation for 1:00 today. Several people—around four of them—came in after Joe, … Read more

A missed bus, a lint-picking rider, engrossed in presentation, dinner@ The Borough, and dancing…

~Wednesday~  I arrived at the city bus stop at 7:47, and by 8:00 the bus hadn’t yet come. A young black kid and that Asian man I mentioned yesterday were waiting as well. At about 7:55, the Asian Man pounded madly on his back for about a minute, and then took off sprinting down the … Read more

The f-bomb and personal business on the bus, a roof repair, a workout, & a car repair & service…

~Monday~  I got to the stop for the 7:45 bus at 7:49, which is really pushing it, but I knew I hadn’t missed the bus because there were two other people waiting there for it. They both boarded before me, and the second guy was a “piggy banker,” so once he emptied his pocket of … Read more

Casey does worthy volunteer work, I do some work work, a family obit, a workout, and scareyoke…

~Sunday~  We had a leisurely morning. Casey did some laundry and a little volunteer work for Distributed Proofreading, which is “an organization that provides a web-based method to ease the conversion of Public Domain books into e-books.” I worked on catching up a few days of my blog, with it taking an inordinate amount of … Read more

That’s So Train Wreck, Home Depot porn spam, a new thermostat, a gay reception, and a night out…

~Saturday~  When I got down to my kitchen, there was a sticky note on my thermostat from Casey that he’d just left to go for a run. This inspired me to run to the gym right after a quick breakfast. I did a 40-minute cardio workout on the elliptical machine, for a 711-calorie burn. There … Read more

A Trane XE1000 heat pump, a heaving chest on the bus, a retirement lunch, and dancing w/Casey…

~Wednesday~  Casey mentioned the possibility of replacing my thermostat with one with a timer in it so that my house can be the temperature I want it to be when I get home. Before leaving for the bus stop, a made a note of the make and model of my heat pump to that end: … Read more
