~Sunday~ I was up at 8:00 and had a quick breakfast and some coffee before getting on the road to Durham. I met Robert at The Streets at Southpoint, where I took my cooler and jumped into Robert’s sister’s pick-up truck. We drove to an “upscale home” not far from the mall, where we loaded … Read more
~Thursday~ I didn’t mention yesterday that when I got home from work, there was a black Honda Civic parked in one of my two assigned parking spots. There was a time that it used to just set me off when someone was in my spot, but now I try to be rational and only get … Read more
~Wednesday~ While waiting for the 8:15 city bus, that Golden Retriever came out to do his on-demand poo, and as soon as he looked up and saw me at the bus stop, he did a trot up toward me ignoring his owner, whom I’m quite sure was calling, “Riley! Riley!” I thought he liked me … Read more
~Sunday~ First on my agenda this morning was to retrieve my credit card that’s now been down at The Dinner for two days. I dropped into Helios, got a cup of coffee, and then slipped across the street to get my card. They couldn’t find it at first and I was relieved when they eventually … Read more
~Saturday~ I had a lazy Saturday during the day at least. Around mid-afternoon, I made a grocery run that included purchasing a watermelon, which I later cubed up (and de-seeded even though it was a seedless watermelon) to take to Hugh’s party later in the afternoon. I spent a little time looking at an article … Read more
~Friday~ I waited on the opposite side of the street of the bus stop, since it’s starting to warm up in the morning, and it’s shady on that side of the street. I was caught up in Facebook on my BlackBerry when the bus appeared at the intersection, and I scooted across the street. At … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, and tracked its progress to my stop on my BlackBerry via this website. Shortly after I arrived at the Kaplan/Gorman stop to wait for the bus, a young lady wearing a backpack walked up to the stop and stood within hearing distance of … Read more
~Sunday~ I used the alarm clock on my BlackBerry for the first time, and it woke us up at 8:30. We were going to stop by Dunkin’ Donuts for breakfast on the way to the airport, but Lisa remembered the complimentary hotel breakfast that went until 9:30, and we ate that instead. There was a … Read more
~Thursday~ I usually fall asleep within five minutes (literally) of lying down at night. Last night, I lay for an hour-and-a-half before falling asleep. That’s just crazy. Needless to say 5:00 came early. I was out the door by 5:40 and pulled into Joe’s place ten minutes earlier than my expected 6:00 arrival. We left … Read more
~Wednesday~ There were several people on the bus with ear buds in and listening to gadgets, which is not really that usual for the city bus. They were all guys, and three of them sat right around me. One of them also had a lot of bracelets going on. Here he is: I took the … Read more
