~Saturday~ I was up at 8:30 after eight hours of sleep. I pretty much avoided looking outside with Hurricane Irene lingering on the east coast today. I went into the office for a good chunk of the day, where I caught up on a lot of work tasks, as well as taking care of some … Read more
~Friday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:14, and I guess that first day of classes was just a fluke with all the students that were there that day. Haven't seen any of them since. To the left of the bus stop, Kaplan has a steep downhill slope long enough that most cars … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus in this morning. I like this morning’s driver as a driver in general, but she has no mercy in terms of giving you a chance to get to, or even anywhere near, a seat before driving on. As soon as that fare machine reads the final edge of … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was ready at 8:05, this morning and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Avent Ferry and Gorman at 8:10. A guy sitting next to me was reading a book that I couldn’t quite see without being any more obvious. I jotted down: Faber Fritts? as potentially being the author’s name, and … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was ready early this morning, so I killed a little time before going to the bus stop by installing Open Office on my home desktop computer, and collecting the trash around the house in anticipation of this week’s collection. It was the perfect temperature out this morning. I arrived at the city bus … Read more
~Thursday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:18. Because the bus didn’t arrive until 8:25, and there was no one else waiting at the stop after that deluge of students yesterday, I was starting to wonder if I’d missed it getting out there at 8:18. I guess those students only have Monday-Wednesday classes … Read more
~Wednesday~ A while ago, my friend Bob, who reads my blog and knows I haven’t changed the blade in my razor since February 4, 2011, gave me an ARKO shaving soap stick, saying that it gives him such a smooth, smooth shave (of his head), and joking that it could probably allow me to use … Read more
~Tuesday~ The university buses started running for the fall semester, and I rode over to the stop at Avent Ferry and Gorman, first running by Hardees to pick up a breakfast biscuit. At least two kids on the bus asked the driver where they needed to get off for the McKimmon center, which the bus … Read more
~Monday~ I had another big ol’ bowl of All-Bran Bran Buds cereal for breakfast and brushed my teeth right after eating it, which was gross. Nothing worse than a fiber-toothed tiger. Packing my lunch to bring into the office, I couldn’t find my pill box. Not my pillbox hat; I know where that is—right there … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 8:30, but wanted to sleep more, so I reset my alarm for 9:00. I couldn’t fall back asleep, though, thinking about the work I had to do today, so I got up and got started with the day. My “GI issue” is back today, and since I ate that “quite … Read more
