~Tuesday~ As I was walking up to the city bus stop, a student (at least he was young and wore a backpack) walked past me, presumably walking down to the Wolfline stop at Gorman and Kaplan. I had to resist saying, “Excuse me. Are you a student? ‘Cause if you are, you can just catch … Read more
~Monday~ I got to the stop for the 7:45 bus at 7:49, which is really pushing it, but I knew I hadn’t missed the bus because there were two other people waiting there for it. They both boarded before me, and the second guy was a “piggy banker,” so once he emptied his pocket of … Read more
~Sunday~ We had a leisurely morning. Casey did some laundry and a little volunteer work for Distributed Proofreading, which is “an organization that provides a web-based method to ease the conversion of Public Domain books into e-books.” I worked on catching up a few days of my blog, with it taking an inordinate amount of … Read more
~Friday~ I caught the 7:45 city bus, and the weather was beautiful out. Since it was Driver Appreciation Day of Try Transit Week, I said, “Thank you for driving,” to the driver as I boarded. “Oh you’re welcome,” she replied. I wasn’t hot this morning and didn’t find it so on the bus, but as … Read more
~Thursday~ It was slightly rainy this morning, but I had my umbrella, although it was a little hard to manage with laptop bag, soft-sided briefcase, and two rolls of wrapping paper—which I forgot to take to work last night when Casey and I dropped by there with the other party stuff—in my hand. Today’s “theme” … Read more
~Wednesday~ Casey mentioned the possibility of replacing my thermostat with one with a timer in it so that my house can be the temperature I want it to be when I get home. Before leaving for the bus stop, a made a note of the make and model of my heat pump to that end: … Read more
~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
~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
~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
~Monday~ I caught the 7:45 city bus, and once on it, I sent an instant message from my BlackBerry to my officemate—who is in the process of becoming my boss—asking her what time a meeting was that she was attending today, as she wanted some input from me for it. I thought it was at … Read more
