~Monday~ There were no regulars on the bus, well Sci-Fi Fantasy Man was on, but way in the back and I didn’t see him until he got off the bus and walked up beside it before we pulled away. At the McKimmon Center, this quite big guy walked toward the bus (as it had stopped … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in and drove to Manbites Dog Theater Company in Durham for our February 1:00 – 2:30 board of directors meeting. A bright spot in the meeting was the presence of Marshall, who is going to be doing Donor Development work for the theater—something we’ve desperately needed, and if the articulation of his … Read more
~Saturday~ Today was quite the affirming day with regards to communications with my relatives, and by the end of it, I was able to articulate the final arrangements for my aunt’s funeral, which I’m posting here for posterity: There is going to be a mass on Wednesday, 02/10/10, starting at 10:00.

There’s still quite a bit of snow on the ground, particularly in places “where the sun don’t shine.” The bus driver today was someone I haven’t seen before, a white guy, committed to not making eye contact with boarding customers—at least … Read more
~Monday~ The university was on a noontime opening delay today, but our manager sent an e-mail last night saying it was fine to work from home, of which I took advantage. I left my house at about 1:30 just to give myself plenty of time to arrive at Tompkins Hall for my 3:00 presentation to … Read more
