~Saturday~ Joe and I were on slightly different schedules this morning, so ate breakfast separately. We found out later that we’d “flip-flopped” on our breakfast order from yesterday—today I got the mushroom and Swiss omelet and he got the three-cheese one. The Annual Bed Race was scheduled for 2:00 today, but we made no effort … Read more
~Friday~ Joe and I were up by 9:30 in order to have breakfast and to return the rental car by 11:15. We had breakfast at the poolside restaurant and bar, where I had the three-cheese omelet and Joe had the mushroom and Swiss. Good stuff. We didn’t have to turn in the car at the … Read more
~Thursday~ I was up at 3:30, and over to Joe’s by 4:20, ten minutes of ahead of my planned 4:30 arrival time. We stopped by the Wachovia ATM on the way to the airport, where I dropped Joe off at Terminal 2 and went to park in Lot 3, the Purple Lot. Three, older women … Read more
~Saturday~ Xolani were up and at ’em in time to leave the house for a 9:00 walk around Lake Johnson. We started at the boathouse side this time, and we made excellent time, completing the three-mile walk in 45 minutes. I usually do it in 50 minutes. The weather was absolutely gorgeous today. After our … Read more
~Friday~ Xolani and I caught the 7:45 bus this morning after a brief exchange of notes in the night that confirmed our mutual departure time. A few minutes after taking my seat, the lady behind me made a phone call, “Sherell, could you pick me up at 9:15 instead of quarter ’til?” A man got … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 9:00. Had breakfast. Xolani came down around ten. He had some coffee and some cream cheese and jelly on bread. We picked up Duma at 11:00 and the three of us had a most delightful walk around Lake Johnson. Topics discussed included small businesses (how they work here versus in … Read more
~Friday~ I brought Xolani back to Duma’s place for 8AM, where Marv was driving them and the other two folks that are here downtown to meet the people they’ll be working with here over the next three weeks. I drove up to the Avent Ferry Park & Ride, where I caught the #9 Greek Village … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in again this morning. I think it’s time the seats on the university buses take a lesson from what had to be done at Disneyland to the boats that take riders through It’s a Small World. The seats on the buses are way too narrow to … Read more
~Sunday~ I got up, had breakfast and went back to sleep for another hour. Glorious Sunday. Robert arrived at 1:00, and we went to the KFC on Western Boulevard, where we had one of the most unpleasant customer service experiences I’ve had in a while. There was a girl sweeping the lobby when we arrived, … Read more
~Saturday~ In spite of eight hours of sleep, I was up early since I got to bed so early. Yay. I got to the gym early in the afternoon, where I did an hour of cardio on the elliptical machine, for an 1119-calorie burn. The first This American Life podcast I put on my iTouch … Read more
