Rack & Ride Day, Listpro & Flipboard, Reveal Night, and The Miniature Earth…

~Tuesday~  The weather was just perfect today, which translates into temperatures in the high 60s. I think it’s been fairly clearly established here that my body temperature tends to run a little high. Ya think? I caught the 8:15 city bus in, and Try Transit Week has finally arrived, and this is how it will … Read more

Umbrella issues, the steam oven, lunch w/Myra, alphabetical schmalphabetical, Casey cooks, & Kohl’s

~Monday~  It was raining this morning, and it’s supposed to rain for at least the next three days. I couldn’t find my umbrella upon heading out to the bus stop this morning, and I proceeded like one does when the electricity goes out, continuing to flip on lights and turn to electronics that do not … Read more

Unmentionables mentioned, dinner w/Casey, a grocery run, non sequitur names, & hair that rules…

~Sunday~  In anticipation of Casey’s arrival later today, I washed the linens from my guest bedroom and bathroom, as well as did a separate load of my unmentionables. Actually, I’ll go ahead and mention them: several pairs of boxers, a few pairs of boxer briefs, and the occasional cum towel. But I seriously digress… I picked … Read more

Digital scrapbooking, being mistaken for a Republican, hilariously Nearly Lear, and Pride night out

~Saturday~  I spent some time at work today working on a digital scrapbook for my boss’ retirement gathering, which will be on Thursday of this week. I made good progress on it. At around 5:30, I took a walk up and down Hillsborough Street, where this was going on: Hillsborough Street Grand Re-opening FestivalAs I … Read more

A halter on the bus, a LARGE PRINT book, the 65 questions Facebook meme, & Trailer Park Prize Night

~Thursday~ I caught the 7:45 city bus, and the boy who ran up late to the bus on Tuesday was already there and waiting this morning. The weather was beautiful outside, but the air on the inside was still. A lady sat up and to the left of me in a center-facing seat with a … Read more

A boo earworm, boss churn, jonesin’ for free Glee, and a lot of cognitive dissonance…

~Tuesday~  For some reason—and that would be that lady’s endearment (“boo”) yesterday to the boy on the cellphone who had to run across the street to catch the bus—I was singing (and I use the term loosely) Nelly’s Dilemma to myself. As I was boarding the 7:45 city bus, a kid ran up to the … Read more

All caught up with Glee, Mostly Social Book Club, and some short-lived insanity…

~Sunday~  I went to Jen’s at 1:00 for “Glee Club,” where we first reviewed the Wikipedia entries for the next three episodes picking up from where we left off last. The reason we only reviewed these instead of watching them was because I’d already seen them a while back, when I first watched the Laryngitis … Read more

The Greek Festival, Kathryn & Mark’s housewarming party, and brownout night…

~Saturday~  I was up at a decent hour, since I was to bed at a decent hour. Funny how that works. Robert arrived at shortly after noon, and we made our way over to the fairgrounds for The Greek Festival. I had free admission tickets, compliments of a (Greek) co-worker, who’s involved with the festival … Read more

A menopause check, a bowl for breakfast, reasons to blog, an MSBC book, and Brad’s book…

~Friday~  I walked up to the bus stop and onto the bus. Get out of my dreams, get into my car. It was the 8:15 bus, and a chubby white guy was driving, but there was no air circulating and it was somewhere between bake and broil in that Jenn-Air oven. I checked out two … Read more

The sheriff, fire potential, one thin dime, a junked trunk, space planning, Mardi Gras 2011, & TPPN

~Thursday~  A deputy sheriff was in the ‘hood this morning when I headed out to the bus stop. It stopped right in front of my house and I saw him walking with some papers in his hand toward the townhouse across from mine. You know I stretched my neck as far as it would stretch … Read more
