Outside voices, a slice of The Hawaiian, in touch w/Steve, Could you just leave, & straight ballcaps

~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

Worked from home, Friday the 13th ruminations, the legendary Bill Padgett’s place, & staying in…

~Friday~ I gloriously worked from home today, so no buscapades. It was so nice to be able to do a load of laundry “in the background,” while I worked, and to be able to finish up my deviled egg dish during lunch for this afternoon’s party. It was nice to have the accoutrement to do … Read more

Mother’s Day secrets, what’s on a dog’s mind, Hoo-Mee chow mein, and catching up w/Joe…

~Sunday~  I slept in until about 10:30 this morning and then slipped comfortably into my Sunday morning routine. I actually had my usual “weekday breakfast sandwich” instead of making something different like a usually do on the weekend. Sitting down to eat my egg whites-turkey sausage-and cheese sandwich, I put on my country gospel CD, … Read more

A squid-like thing at a yard sale, royal Corgi thoughts, a substitute dinner, and bar crawling…

~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

Impeccably painted nails, a salacious goody trail, the check was in the mail, and Cinco de Drinco…

~Thursday~  I parked at the Avent Ferry Park & Ride and caught the 8:00 Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus. You can tell it’s exam week at the university as a bunch of kids were studying on the bus, which reminded me that I need to check the university bus schedule to see when they switch … Read more

Hot Mess Driver & Logorrhea incognito, a flask@klatsch, a recycle yenta, & a lost bet…

~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

Rolls in the morning, intellectual debate all day, and a sh*t-ton of exercise at night…

~Wednesday~  Before parking for the bus on Gorman, I ran into the Food Lion and bought a bag of King’s Hawaiian Sandwich Rolls and used one of them to make my breakfast sandwich and another to make my lunch sandwich later in the day. I initiated what turned out to be a fun, fun, fun … Read more

Return of the NEMATOMOBILE, a D-I-Y car repair, prisoner work, exercising, coffee, & scareyoke…

~Monday~ I worked from home this morning, and at lunch time I headed over to Thompson Collision Repair to pick up my car. My first stop was at Enterprise to turn in my rental, and from where I received a ride to Thompson by a man who had a chauffeur look to him and was … Read more

Friends don’t let their friends and relatives find their porn, Salon XIX, and Lacks progress…

~Sunday~ This secret from today’s collection at PostSecret reminded me that I’ve had a conversation about this with many a gay friend. I, personally, have no concerns at all about anything of mine found after I die. These “write-in e-mails” were included after that postcard: —–email—– I cleaned out my ex-husband’s apartment when he died … Read more

That’s so unacceptable, a police accident report as a technical document, and doppelganging…

~Monday~  I caught a Wolfline bus in this morning, and what the kid sitting across me was reading reminded me that NC State is, indeed, an college with a history steeped in agriculture. It was some textbook about animals. A Middle Eastern guy ended up standing in the aisle right in front of me, and … Read more
