~Sunday~ A couple of weeks ago, I thought I was buying a bag of 3 Musketeers mini-bars, but they turned out to be Baby Ruths, of which I’m not all that fond. Thinking back, I can’t believe I didn’t even turn the bag over. I grabbed the bag, which was face-down, just assuming they were … Read more
~Saturday~ I got up at about 9:15, and after a quick cup of coffee and a short instant message conversation with Robert, I’d SSSed, and was off to Durham. In case it was crowded, Robert headed over to Elmo’s Diner while I was on my way. I checked in by phone as I got within … Read more
~Thursday~ I waited in anticipation for the 40-foot air-conditioner-on-wheels to rescue me from the 92% humidity at 7:15 in the morning. Shortly before the bus arrived, 70% Geek / 30% Military arrived and said good morning before diving into his latest book, the title of which I couldn’t see. (And you know I tried to.) … Read more
~Tuesday~ This morning’s 8:15 city bus was sufficiently air-conditioned. A man sat in the front, right, center-facing seat holding up a little piece of paper with an address of 900 Gorman Street on it, and both the lady in the seat behind me and the seat across from me were engaged in helping him determine … Read more
~Monday~ I couldn’t have been more pleased to see a heavy, male driver of the 8:15 city bus pull up to my stop this morning. With that I thought: “There’s a chance the air will be on because: 1) It’s not the regular lady driver who keeps it turned off, and 2) Since the driver’s … Read more
~Sunday~ I’d set my alarm for 11:00, but was up at 9. I made a most delicious turkey sausage and cheddar cheese omelet for breakfast, which I enjoyed with some whole wheat toast and coffee. In what’s as close to a Sunday morning ritual that I’ve been able to keep, I listened to a country … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:00 this morning, since I got to bed early. I had a couple of turkey sausage biscuits for breakfast with some coffee, while I finished up my Friday blog entry. For the rest of the morning, I finalized the agenda for our board meeting at noon, and finished up the … Read more
~Thursday~ Today was a repeat of a stagnant-air, hot bus. Several of the windows were actually open, though, and the air mercifully came on at the Kaplan and Gorman intersection, which is just minutes past where I board. Interestingly, when it did come on, it smelled a little musty and mildewy. Like Roseanne Roseannadanna used … Read more
~Monday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus up at the Gorman Street / Kings Court stop. Just before the bus arrived, this cute, petite Asian girl walked up to the stop in an outfit that made me think, “Are you a student or a French Maid?” I’m quite sure if I were straight, … Read more
~Sunday~ On my way back from the beach, I stopped for gas, and saw this sign above my pump. I’m still trying to get my head around the magical age of 27. I mentioned on Friday that my friend Hugh and I had a discussion about how the priest at my ex-brother-in-law’s memorial service had disinvited … Read more
