~Saturday~ I met my friend Will at the Hardee’s at Gorman and Avent Ferry at just before 10:30, where he handed off to me a DVD set of the first season of The Wire. I’ve heard great things about this show from my fellow salon member, and friend, Etta. I said jokingly to Will as … Read more
~Monday~ This morning brought who I’ve referred to before in the past as Madonna and Child aboard the bus. She’s the mother with the Genetics notebook and the adorable little bi-racial daughter with the absolute most adorable face and precocious hair. I think I’m going to refer to them as Mother and Genetically-Beautiful Daughter from … Read more
~Friday~ Diarrhea-of-the-Mouth lady was back this morning and once again living up to her name. Loud, liquid, flow. Folded Red-Tipped White Caner (FR-TWC) guy got on this morning, who I’ve talked about a few times now. In earlier buscapades, this is the guy who the bus driver waved the fare ticket at him that he’d left … Read more
~Thursday~ I forgot to mention yesterday, that on the way home, on that 8:15 bus, the Waffle House Lady was on her way to work. I always see her in the morning on the way home from work. She looks happier in the morning going home. I’m just saying… Just now-christened Diarrhea-of-the-Mouth was on board … Read more
~Wednesday~ I had an absolutely insanely busy work day today. I spent all morning setting up project websites for projects on our budget reduction strategy and strategic organizational projects list. All afternoon, nonstop, I worked on the minutes of our last University IT Committee meeting, which have to go out two weeks before the next … Read more
~Saturday~ Death was on my mind today. Twice this week I’ve learned about someone dying via Facebook. One of the people was the husband of a guy who I’ve only ever “met” online, and the other was a high school friend of mine. Neither one of which I’d known was sick. I’m surprised at how … Read more
~Thursday~ It has happened twice now in the past couple of weeks, so it’s time to make a serious mental note that these two morning tasks, described here with the rhetorical device known as an unordered list: Put coffee on Get thermos out of briefcase from yesterday to put it in really requires an ordered … Read more
~Tuesday~ I woke up to some sort of stomach virus this morning, and I decided that I’d rather be in the bathroom every 10 minutes in the privacy of my own home than at work. I sent an e-mail to my boss asking if I could work from home today, saying if not, then I’d … Read more
~Friday~ This morning a blind rider got on the bus at one stop. I’ve mentioned this guy before, although it’s been quite a while. The last time I mentioned him was when he didn’t take his fare ticket out of the machine after paying, and the bus driver held it out, waving it up and … Read more
~Sunday~ I made cheddar cheese omelets for us for breakfast, with three turkey sausage links each, and an English muffin. And coffee, of course. I wrote an entry that I’m going to submit to AARP for a column they’re doing in September: “Tell us what you really know about television. E-mail your factual essay of … Read more
