The lady in red with a lot going on, a remote staff meeting, a workout, and a bust of a night out…

~Tuesday~   This morning, for 8:30 in the morning, well it was just plain hot already. Stagnant air. High humidity. Hot. The entire ten minutes I wilted waiting for the bus, I had one recurring thought, “Please let it be cool on the bus. Please let it be cool on the bus.” The bus pulled up … Read more

Gay adopted kids, redundant déjà vu, a memorial reception, a workout, and a night in…

~Friday~  I ran behind this morning, so I drove up to the Wolfline stop, and I approached the Kaplan / Gorman intersection just as the Wolfline bus did, which is to say, I missed it. Checking the current whereabouts of the next one on my phone, I knew I had about ten minutes to wait, … Read more

“Riley” says hello, sorta; a 1.75-year buscapade first; Photoshop art, Alejandro, salad, dancing…

~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

A messed up file system, a Lunch & Learn, and the university-level Awards for Excellence…

~Tuesday~ I got a little behind this morning in spite of getting up early, and by the time I’d made coffee and packed my lunch, I’d missed the 8:15 bus. I drove over to the Wolfline stop at Gorman St. and Kings Court, and got on the #9 Greek Village bus at a little after 8:30. … Read more

A bus sunroof, an Afro on the bus, pizza night at the gym, and an affirmation-generating meme…

~Monday~  I caught the 8:15 city bus, which had a different driver than the usual one. He talked about sports with two guys sitting up front my entire trip. The discussion started off with basketball, during which one of the guys said, “I don’t care what nobody says, Sidney Lowe is the best point guard … Read more

Labels that persist, a card from Jonah, muffins from Anna, and a night out with Sarah and Phil…

~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

Fur between my legs, a porky princess, Billy Joe Day, a rulesy bus driver, & a bit of honey…

~Thursday~  It’s official. The muffin is gone. Completely. Including the wrapper, which wasn’t even on the ground around the pole. I got totally engrossed in my BlackBerry and it’s an absolute miracle I didn’t both jump and scream when a wet snout followed by fur rubbed between my legs down on the inside of my … Read more

“You’re easily distracted,” another bank robbery near work, rhetoric, shopping, and dancing…

~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
