~Saturday~ In spite of eight hours of sleep, I was up early since I got to bed so early. Yay. I got to the gym early in the afternoon, where I did an hour of cardio on the elliptical machine, for an 1119-calorie burn. The first This American Life podcast I put on my iTouch … Read more
~Thursday~ I went to catch the Wolfline bus at 8:00 to meet a student in the MS in Technical Communication program at 8:30 at Reverie coffee shop on Hillsborough Street, just down the street from my office. Not two minutes after I arrived at the stop, I remembered that it was Easter Break for the … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, on which a young, female student studied, what looked like, vocabulary words, using flashcards. Word on the front, definition on the back. I noticed yellow highlighting in some of the definitions when the cards were flipped. I didn’t realize they still made 3×5 … Read more
~Sunday~ I reveled in eight hours of glorious sleep. Today was a struggle of an eating day, having to count “yesterday’s 4th meal” in today’s calorie intake. No fun. Another awesome (“deaf”) Def Poetry entry! I spent a couple of hours doing taxes today. I’ve used Turbo Tax to do my taxes for years, but … Read more
~Saturday~ We were up shortly after eight, and at the NC State’s Farmers’ Market Restaurant for breakfast by 10:00. We each had their most delicious French Toast. I had an egg over easy on the side with mine, and Robert had a side of bacon with his. Back at home, I was in and out, … Read more
~Thursday~ I continue to notice house ads on the bus, and this morning four out of the five (on the city) bus were house ads—two (of the same) ads for a temporary detour coming up for the 7C route, and two (of the same ad) for an upcoming public hearing about proposed fare policy changes. … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in this morning, on which I counted 9 ads above the seats on one side of the bus. Three of them were “house ads”: one about Wolfline’s Holiday/Break Schedule, one about the “Wolfprowl” bus, and the other about NC State Transportation’s Go Pass program. There weren’t too many students … Read more
~Tuesday~ The city bus was on the verge of being “too late” this morning. It arrived at 8:30, ten minutes later than the expected 8:20. Library Man was aboard, reading a newspaper or a magazine that looked like a newspaper. At one stop, a college kid boarded with a carton that said, “All Whites,” on … Read more
~Wednesday~ I used one of the ten or so free parking passes that users of public transportation are allowed each year by the university, as I had an errand to run during lunch. My work day started off with a 9:00-10:00 meeting, which although is not my favorite way to start the day, this one … Read more
~Tuesday~ As I waited for the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus this morning, a dump truck, towing a tractor on a short flatbed came speeding down Gorman street. It took the driver quite a while to realize that there was a State Trooper in an SUV behind it with its lights flashing for him to … Read more
