~Thursday~ Today was my meeting day from hell, which I alluded to in Monday’s blog entry: Due to that 4:00 meeting, which was in the Talley Student Center, which is most convenient to a slew of Wolfline buses but only one city bus, I took a Wolfline bus in this morning. It wasn’t jammed packed … Read more
~Wednesday~ Another nipply morning, and another rider paying his bus fare with gloves on. This was a sensible person, though, as he was not trying to deposit coins, but merely sliding his fare card, which he did beautifully and it worked perfectly. Oh yeah, he was me. Sci-Fi Fantasy Man was reading a small hard-bound … Read more
~Saturday~ I met Patrick Barclay for lunch at noon at The Diner. We had good conversation, and a good brunch once our ham and cheese omelets were whisked away and our actual-ordered three-cheese omelets arrived. They had a shortage of pens there, and to that end they grabbed ours just as soon as we finished … Read more
~Friday~ It was cold as a witch’s tit at the bus top this morning, and the bus was on the late, rather than early, side. As we went around a stopped Wolfline bus, I saw Logorrhea running to catch that one. I wondered if she talks as much on that bus as she does on … Read more
~Thursday~ I played a running joke of Robert’s and mine and opened my blinds this morning saying, “Is it snowing?” And lo and behold, huge flakes were falling. I put on a pot of coffee, fired up my laptop, logged into work, and sent an e-mail to my manager, copying my officemate, that I’d plan … Read more
~Wednesday~ There were only two people on the bus when I boarded this morning, and one of them had a scowl on her face, as if she were unhappy to be riding the bus. It made me think about my attitude about riding the bus. I really enjoy it. However, I don’t have to ride … Read more
~Saturday~ I enjoyed a delicious cinnamon and raisin bagel for breakfast. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had a bagel, and I do love them. I put butter on one half and reduced fat cream cheese on the other. Surprisingly, I liked the cream cheese half better. I had lunch with Joe out at … Read more
~Friday~ Evidently I didn’t get the memo that it was hood and hat day on the bus. Four people sitting around me had hoods on, and by that I mean they had them pulled up over their heads on the bus, and two of them had on hats under those hoods. One of the hoods—sans … Read more
~Wednesday~ The city bus stops for me at a stop that is right after turning left onto Kaplan from Kent. This morning the bus did something I’ve never seen it do before. While it was stopped at that intersection waiting to turn left, where there’s a stop sign, it opened its doors and let someone … Read more
~Saturday~ Although it had stopped snowing by morning, its remnants were all about. With my morning coffee in hand, I opened the blinds on the windows facing my back deck, to a scene that prompted me to write this haiku: No sound on my deck. Is that the white noise of snow? Beautiful morning. While … Read more
