~Sunday~ I slept in again this morning, and my first glance at this week’s PostSecrets startled me as I didn’t read the title and since they were all about fathers, I panicked, “I thought Father’s Day was next Sunday!” It may be shallow, but it’s honest. Of this week’s collection, this one resonated the most … Read more
~Friday~ I worked from home today, and this is what I said about it in a Facebook status update: Most of my day was consumed with editing our organization’s annual report to the chancellor. Late in the morning, I got a response from gotriangle.org regarding their erroneous sign that I discussed in Monday’s blog entry, … Read more
~Thursday~ I had a 10:30 meeting in the Avent Ferry Technology Center (AFTC) across from Mission Valley and instead of going to work over on Hillsborough Street and then catching a ride over there with colleagues, I decided just to head over there from home and work there until my meeting. I drove to the … Read more
~Monday~ I actually drove into work today. The Wolfline service is in a “dead week”: the regular semester service has ended, but the summer service hasn’t yet begun. There are only three routes in service, none of which come near my house. While in the car, I heard a portion of a very compelling interview … Read more
~Saturday~ Because I basically went to bed at 8:30 last night, I was up at 5:30 the morning. I spent some time writing, completing my Thursday blog entry. Today was OutRaleigh, which was described as: OutRaleigh is envisioned to celebrate Raleigh’s LGBT community, families, friends and supporters in a family-friendly atmosphere.

~Saturday~ I was up and at ’em this morning at 6:30, and after a shower, I headed down to the historic Mordecai neighborhood, where my friend was having a yard sale as part of a group sale, along with a ton of other yard sales going on in that neighborhood. This may be the only … Read more
~Friday~ I enjoyed beautiful weather at the city bus stop this morning, arriving there at 8:13 and boarding the bus at 8:26. Hot Mess Driver was running late this morning, but at least she had the oven turned off. A lady sitting across from me was wearing what looked like a nurse’s smock, although it … Read more
~Friday~ In a rare event, I awoke before my 7:30 alarm went off, and I actually went ahead and got up. I made coffee, breakfast and lunch, all “to go,” and I was at the bus stop a wasteful two minutes early, at 8:13. The weather was absolutely prefect this morning—cool enough to notice, but … Read more
~Thursday~ I so wanted to stay in bed this morning, but I made myself get up instead of hitting the snooze a number of times. I got back to my routine of making a thermos full of coffee and both a breakfast and lunch sandwich to take to work with me. The weather was moist, … Read more
