~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
~Saturday~ Lisa and I were up at about 9:00, and I ran over to a nearby Dunkin’ Donuts, where I picked up breakfast for us courtesy of Lisa. I had to order my coffee and receive it from one person, order our bagels from another person to whom I paid for everything, while yet another … Read more
~Friday~ I got up at about 8:30 today, and sauntered over to the hotel lobby for the complimentary breakfast, which was adequate but nothing great. They didn’t have bagels, which would have been my number one choice, but I had a hard-boiled egg, two slices of toast, a small cheese danish, some apple juice and … 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
~Monday~ I wanted to catch the 7:45 bus today and barely did, having only just a second to glance at that muffin continuing to deteriorate on top of that Southern Bell underground cable warning post.

~Sunday~ I woke up to an incredible thunderstorm at 9:00 this morning. Unable to go back to sleep, even though I hadn’t had eight hours, I got up. I had big plans today, but they sputtered out as the day wore on and I didn’t move to see things through. In the early afternoon, somewhere … Read more
~Saturday~ I slept in this morning, and once up enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and took care of several to-do items online, including some calendaring for Salon, writing Thursday and part of Friday’s blog entry, and playing some Scrabble. Mid-afternoon, I finally got my ass to the gym, where I did 40 minutes on the elliptical … Read more
~Friday~ The African-American girl who was at the stop on Tuesday, with the shoes and ball cap and didn’t find her knight in shining armor on the bus, was at the stop as I approached. Coming from the other direction was said knight, running that brush through his lack of hair. They didn’t even say … Read more
~Thursday~ At the bus stop, I had this thought: “We expect our dogs to be regular.” This was brought about as someone who lives with the back of their townhouse facing the bus stop stepped outside with his Golden Retriever, which walked around a little in what I projected to be an attempt to squat … Read more
~Tuesday~ Above the bus stop, there are a bunch of pine trees, and not because it was raining, but because of the combination of the saturated pine needles and a slight breeze, raindrops kept falling on my head. Rest assured, however, my eyes weren’t turning red; crying’s not for me. Just sayin… This morning the … Read more
