~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
~Saturday~ I got up at 10:30, and I did some straightening around the house, including putting away clothes piled up all over the place in both my bedrooms, paper piles scattered all over my kitchen table, and putting away things that have been sitting on my couch for months (at least six, because some were from Christmas), … Read more
~Wednesday~ I woke up not feeling at all well this morning. I had sniffles (perhaps a “summer cold” coming on, as they like to say “down here”), and I had an upset stomach. I arrived at the bus stop at 7:19, which was starting to push it for the 7:15 bus, but it didn’t arrive … Read more
~Thursday~ I forgot to mention this yesterday: My weekly visitor (sounds like I’m on the rag, only a little too often, doesn’t it) was in the office yesterday, through whom I found out there are only two degrees of separation between me and Scotty McCreery! My part-time officemate fishes with Scotty’s dad! When I stepped … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, and the bus arrived at 8:23. The usual 8:15, Hot Mess Driver herself, was at the helm. The temperature outside was beautiful, so having absolutely no air circulating on the bus wasn’t as bad as it might have been. A couple of students took the … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up at 7:00 and out at the city bus stop at 7:45. There was a man there with earbuds in, who did at least acknowledge me with a nod, if not with a response to my, “Good morning.” It was a little nipply out at 61°, and the bus was annoyingly late, … Read more
~Tuesday~ I parked at the Avent Ferry Park & Ride in anticipation of heading downtown after work for the End-of-the-Semester SIGDOC gathering at Flying Saucer. There was only a handful of folks on the bus, and several of the kids on it were studying en route. It is exam week after all. In an unusual … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at about 8:30, put on a pot of coffee, and made two sausage-egg-and-cheese sandwiches for breakfast for us. I liked this PostSecret because it’s a reminder that always being responsible (which I have been most of my life) is not necessarily the best thing: Shortly after Robert left to head back … Read more
~Friday~ As I walked down the short paved entrance into my townhouse area, I looked long and hard at this retaining wall to see if it had: 1) naturally eroded, 2) been vandalized, or 3) been hit by a vehicle. But in the end, I couldn’t draw any definite conclusion. Can you? I was at … Read more
~Saturday~ I was in Durham by 10:30 for our March Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors meeting, which went well, and finished a little early, as Jeff had to leave early for a tech rehearsal of an upcoming show at Duke. Robert joined me afterwards, in the beautiful weather, and we ate at King’s Sandwich … Read more
