~Friday~ A cast of characters in today’s buscapade: A very attractive, very-well dressed lady sat on one of the center-facing priority seats for the elderly and disabled.

We had our monthly staff meeting at my boss’s boss’s level today—four departments of about 20-25 people. First on our agenda was a new director to our organization. He started working in our organization April 15, 2009. We’ve been starting off our last several staff meetings with one director of each of the other seven … Read more
This morning’s buscapade evoked two thoughts: There’s no eating, smoking, drinking, or profanity on the CAT bus.
