~Wednesday~ The 8:15 city bus arrived at 8:19 this morning, with Hello Outdoorsy Driver at the helm. She stopped at the next stop, which is a sync stop, for four to five minutes. There were only two other people on when I boarded, and none got on at this stop. I thought about a lunch … Read more
~Tuesday~ The 8:15 bus was once again commandeered by the outdoorsy loud hello bus driver—who I actually like in case you can’t tell. I think I’ve mentioned these two Hispanic ladies before—they each have a child, and they always sit across the aisle from one another as opposed to in front of or behind each … Read more
~Monday~ The 8:15 city bus arrived at 8:26. Who’s keeping track? I had just dialed the CAT line and had been instructed to “Press 1 to continue in English,” when screaming sirens came up so fast and so close that I couldn’t hear anything on the other end of the line, so I hung up. … Read more
~Friday~ I was back on the 8:15 city bus this morning, and that “outdoorsy” looking girl was driving, and I immediately thought of the drama that happened out at Cameron Village yesterday: No Kissing at Cameron Village? Or no kissing if you’re gay? The Magazine Lady was aboard reading a small, mail-order catalog. She stopped … Read more
~Thursday~ I was running all kinds of behind this morning, so being too late for the 8:15 city bus, I drove up to the Wolfline #9 Greek Village stop up on Gorman Street close to Avent Ferry Road, where I haven’t parked since they completed the repaving of Gorman. It’s obvious that you are once again allowed … Read more
~Wednesday~ I arrived at the bus stop at 7:48, and it hadn’t come by 8:00, so I drove down the street to catch the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Kaplan and Gorman. In that short drive, I heard on a morning radio show that a couple just had their third baby on 10-10-10. What … Read more
~Tuesday~ The 8:15 city bus came at 8:25. While I waited, I checked my e-mail on my BlackBerry, where I found a link to a review of Breadcrumbs, Manbites Dog’s current production, and I sent a link to it to Robert and Casey. Read other reviews. Some random thoughts I had on the bus ride … Read more
~Monday~ Now more than ever, it’s important to come out. Closets are for clothes, not people. Come out, come out, wherever you are. In light of the recent early arrival of the 7:45 bus, I was out at the stop at 7:44. It came at 7:50. Magazine Lady was aboard, but she wasn’t reading a … Read more
~Thursday~ Joe picked me up at 7:00 this morning and took me to his doctor’s office, where I was to have a “Fun-with-people-coming-out-of-anesthesia Day.” The waiting room had free wi-fi in it, so I actually got some work done, mostly [still] refining my presentation for 1:00 today. Several people—around four of them—came in after Joe, … Read more
~Wednesday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 7:47, and by 8:00 the bus hadn’t yet come. A young black kid and that Asian man I mentioned yesterday were waiting as well. At about 7:55, the Asian Man pounded madly on his back for about a minute, and then took off sprinting down the … Read more
