~Wednesday~ It’s been a while since I’ve caught the 8:15 city bus, which used to be my “routine,” and this morning a couple was at the stop when I arrived. They were an African-American couple, whom from their conversation, which was impossible to not overhear (not that I would try to not overhear it even … Read more
~Monday~ I got to the bus stop just as the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus pulled up, and looking forward to getting back to my daily routine this week. At the third stop, at Gorman and Kaplan, I took an inventory of riders counting 6 out of the 7 riders with ear buds in. At … Read more
~Wednesday~ Xolani and I had a nice exchange as we walked out to the bus stop together, since we hadn’t seen each other since last Wednesday. He actually went to Greensboro this weekend while I was gone, and although I didn’t learn how he did, I was glad to hear that he’d gotten out of … Read more
~Monday~ We were up at 8:30, with a targeted departure time from the Island House of 9:30 to get to the airport for our 10:50 flight to Miami. However, shortly after being up I noticed on my calendar that our flight was not at 10:52, but 11:52. We used the found time to slow … Read more
~Friday~ Joe and I were up by 9:30 in order to have breakfast and to return the rental car by 11:15. We had breakfast at the poolside restaurant and bar, where I had the three-cheese omelet and Joe had the mushroom and Swiss. Good stuff. We didn’t have to turn in the car at the … Read more
~Wednesday~ Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Xolani and I caught the 7:45 city bus. One of Xolani’s dollar bills did not cooperate with the fare machine, and eventually the bus driver took it and made it work. The Right-hand Rule Lady was on board, whom I haven’t seen in forever. It’s been so long that you might … Read more
~Saturday~ Xolani were up and at ’em in time to leave the house for a 9:00 walk around Lake Johnson. We started at the boathouse side this time, and we made excellent time, completing the three-mile walk in 45 minutes. I usually do it in 50 minutes. The weather was absolutely gorgeous today. After our … Read more
~Wednesday~ Xolani and I rode the bus together this morning. It was running a little behind, arriving at our stop closer to 7:30 than 7:20. Li’l Dino boarded at her stop and she said hello to me while touching my shoulder as she passed me. Cell Phone Lady boarded at her regular stop and she … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 9:00. Had breakfast. Xolani came down around ten. He had some coffee and some cream cheese and jelly on bread. We picked up Duma at 11:00 and the three of us had a most delightful walk around Lake Johnson. Topics discussed included small businesses (how they work here versus in … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in again this morning. I think it’s time the seats on the university buses take a lesson from what had to be done at Disneyland to the boats that take riders through It’s a Small World. The seats on the buses are way too narrow to … Read more
