~Sunday~ I was up at a decent hour, since I stayed in last night and got to bed at a decent hour. What a concept. I spent a couple hours beginning the process of cleaning up the clutter in my house in anticipation of two house guests I have coming—at different times—over the next couple … Read more
~Friday~ Stagnant Driver pulled up in her 40-foot mobile oven this morning, and left it on bake my entire trip, searing her buscapade character name into time immemorial. What is wrong with her? I wish she were menopausal, although she doesn’t appear to be any where near old enough to be. It didn’t occur to … Read more
~Thursday~ She’s out to get me. She did it again. Stagnant Driver arrived with the A/C on. Library Man was on board this morning, and I purposefully took a seat behind him so I could see what he was reading. No hometown newspaper with color photos in it today, but instead a paper magazine called … Read more
~Wednesday~ Stagnant Driver dragged her 8:15 bus up to my stop at 8:25. Watch. Now that I’ve named her, she’ll have the A/C on all the time. I haven’t mentioned that I’ve seen Madonna—of Madonna-and-Genetically-Beautiful-Daughter buscapade character name fame—a couple of times over the past week or two. Only one time was she with said … Read more
~Sunday~ A couple of weeks ago, I thought I was buying a bag of 3 Musketeers mini-bars, but they turned out to be Baby Ruths, of which I’m not all that fond. Thinking back, I can’t believe I didn’t even turn the bag over. I grabbed the bag, which was face-down, just assuming they were … Read more
~Saturday~ I got up at about 9:15, and after a quick cup of coffee and a short instant message conversation with Robert, I’d SSSed, and was off to Durham. In case it was crowded, Robert headed over to Elmo’s Diner while I was on my way. I checked in by phone as I got within … Read more
~Wednesday~ You’ve heard of the fork in the road, but how about the: I stepped over that walking to my bus stop this morning. That driver was back, but mercifully, she actually had on the air-conditioning. The Kanki Guy (officially named now) got on at the McDonald’s stop at Western/Gorman, and I’ve officially deemed that … Read more
~Monday~ I couldn’t have been more pleased to see a heavy, male driver of the 8:15 city bus pull up to my stop this morning. With that I thought: “There’s a chance the air will be on because: 1) It’s not the regular lady driver who keeps it turned off, and 2) Since the driver’s … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:00 this morning, since I got to bed early. I had a couple of turkey sausage biscuits for breakfast with some coffee, while I finished up my Friday blog entry. For the rest of the morning, I finalized the agenda for our board meeting at noon, and finished up the … Read more
~Thursday~ Today was a repeat of a stagnant-air, hot bus. Several of the windows were actually open, though, and the air mercifully came on at the Kaplan and Gorman intersection, which is just minutes past where I board. Interestingly, when it did come on, it smelled a little musty and mildewy. Like Roseanne Roseannadanna used … Read more
