~Tuesday~ Library Man was aboard this morning. He actually wasn’t in his element like he normally is, which is to say he wasn’t reading a newspaper or a trade magazine. Boring. A lady with a head scarf sat to the right of me, and she held her cell phone up in her left hand the … Read more
~Saturday~ In spite of eight hours of sleep, I was up early since I got to bed so early. Yay. I got to the gym early in the afternoon, where I did an hour of cardio on the elliptical machine, for an 1119-calorie burn. The first This American Life podcast I put on my iTouch … Read more
~Tuesday~ The city bus was on the verge of being “too late” this morning. It arrived at 8:30, ten minutes later than the expected 8:20. Library Man was aboard, reading a newspaper or a magazine that looked like a newspaper. At one stop, a college kid boarded with a carton that said, “All Whites,” on … 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
~Friday, Christmas Day~ Happy Holidays, dear readers! Thanks for dropping in during the year. I appreciate you! I headed out to Greenville at just after 9:00. Robert had to work today, so I traveled solo in overcast weather, but in light traffic. There were a couple of cops on the road, with at least one … Read more
~Tuesday~ Library Man was on the bus this morning, and as always, was reading a magazine. I took the seat behind him, and you know I peered over the seat to see what he was reading—PC World magazine an article called, “Why you should use sleep mode every day.” Sci-Fi Fantasy Man was also on … Read more
~Tuesday~ Not one of my named characters was on the bus this morning. I even re-checked the bus route (not that I could be on any bus other than the #12 Method Inbound, since it’s the only one that stops by my house) and I checked the time to see if perhaps I had fallen … Read more
~Friday~ I worked from home this morning. My exterminator was scheduled to arrive some time between 8AM and 10AM, and he arrived at about 8:05. New guy. Latino. Hair poking out of top unbuttoned shirt button. About a 7 out of 10. I met Anna, Kim, and Brad at The Third Place for Friday Latte. … Read more
~Tuesday~ Today’s buscapade seating chart: Today I sat toward the back of the bus as you can see. As I made my way to my seat, I noticed Other Man leaning forward with his forehead resting on the seatback in front of him, so that I only saw the top of his head—his hair, not … Read more
~Thursday~ I read Anna Karenina on the bus on the way in this morning. I received a reminder that my book is due on Monday, and I would love to finish it without having to renew it a third time. I think it’s doable over the weekend. My only meeting today was from 2:00-3:30, and … Read more
