~Thursday~ Xolani and I were up and at ’em again today to catch the 7:45 #12 Method Road city bus all the way downtown, as that’s where he’s working and where I was attending day two of the WWW2010/FutureWeb2010 conference at the Raleigh Convention Center. There were four kids on the bus this morning, which … Read more
~Wednesday~ Xolani and I had a nice exchange as we walked out to the bus stop together, since we hadn’t seen each other since last Wednesday. He actually went to Greensboro this weekend while I was gone, and although I didn’t learn how he did, I was glad to hear that he’d gotten out of … Read more
~Wednesday~ Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Xolani and I caught the 7:45 city bus. One of Xolani’s dollar bills did not cooperate with the fare machine, and eventually the bus driver took it and made it work. The Right-hand Rule Lady was on board, whom I haven’t seen in forever. It’s been so long that you might … Read more
~Tuesday~ Xolani and I were up and on the 7:45 bus again this morning. Sometimes it feels like Groundhog Day standing at the bus stop, when day after day the bus is on the later side rather than the earlier side, and when the long, yellow school bus passes by at the same time. A … 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
~Thursday~ I assumed Xolani and I were catching the 7:15 bus this morning, but when the kitchen clock read 7:18 and I heard the shower in the upstairs guest bathroom just turning on, I realized that wasn’t the case. I jotted him a short note, and I caught the 7:15 bus, since I was up … Read more
~Tuesday~ Library Man was aboard this morning. He actually wasn’t in his element like he normally is, which is to say he wasn’t reading a newspaper or a trade magazine. Boring. A lady with a head scarf sat to the right of me, and she held her cell phone up in her left hand the … 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
~Thursday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, where the only thing of note, really, was a missed perception on my part. A handsome lad had to run for the bus, and when he got on, he put a large box he was carrying with him in the seat next to … 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
