Getting mom and dad off to Jacksonville, checking in with work, back to the gym, & a snowy night out

~Friday~  Surprisingly, I woke up at about 8:30 and couldn’t get back to sleep. I told mom and dad that I’d call them at the Ramada Inn at 10:00 to see when they’d be ready. I was torn between calling them a little earlier and letting them sleep, but if I know my dad, he … Read more

Final final arrangements, practicing homosexuality, drag her to Oak Street, the gym, and dancing…

~Saturday~  Today was quite the affirming day with regards to communications with my relatives, and by the end of it, I was able to articulate the final arrangements for my aunt’s funeral, which I’m posting here for posterity: There is going to be a mass on Wednesday, 02/10/10, starting at 10:00. Mom, Dad, and I … Read more

Another city bus, a checklist meeting, class, a misplaced car, and ugly line-dancers…

~Wednesday~  I rode the city bus in today, but not the #12 Method bus. Instead I parked over by Avent Ferry road and took the #11 Avent Ferry bus in. That ride had more of a Wolfline “look and feel” to it, as by the time we got near campus the entire aisle was filled … Read more

WordPress blogging, 2 things you never want to see at your gym, and straight people fighting…

~Sunday~  I got a glorious full eight hours of sleep. I should do that more often. I spent way more time than I wanted to creating that video screen capture of that product installation for my blog for class. I am just auditing the class for Pete’s sake. Oh well, I always was an over-achiever. … Read more

My townhouse hill’s a laboratory, some service, some homework, and a questionable night out…

~Saturday~  This morning the much touted, and profusely reported, blanket of white was on the ground. Now, in 2015, all of the major weather forecasters will be bragging about how they “nailed the one of 2010.” I didn’t mention in yesterday’s entry that I parked my car out of my townhouse area, down on Kaplan … Read more

A non-kneeling bus, seeing liver, 1 in 10, HE wins, class, a workout, & dancing…

~Wednesday~  I was at the bus stop a few minutes early, which did not bode well with the combination of cold temperatures this morning and the lateness of the bus. It got to the point where I looked around for a very wide tree that I might stand aside in such a way that it … Read more

A long blog entry about a long day, spent mostly in service…

~Saturday~  I was up at 6:45 and looking in my bathroom mirror saw this one-inch gash on my nose with dried blood on it. I have no idea how that happened during the night. With some peroxide (and therefore bubbling), I was able to wipe away the blood and fold the slightly hanging skin back … Read more

Sudoko, Tiger’s dead baby, a deaf genie, an affirmation, and dinner w/Robert & Casey…

~Friday~ A non-regular rider was doing a Sudoku puzzle in my line of vision on the bus this morning, and I had the following thoughts watching him: I just never have been engaged by those. I would much rather be playing with words in a crossword puzzle, as I prefer words to numbers and at … Read more

Buscapades, after-work drinks, and an early night in…

~Thursday~  This morning’s city bus ride featured Library Man reading not an industry trade magazine, but what I at first thought might be Woman’s Day magazine, but turned out to be the Parade magazine, a Sunday paper insert in these parts. Library Man had some kind of sinus issue going on this morning, which exposed … Read more

Google Apps @ NC State, class canceled, a healthy dinner, and dancing with Casey…

~Wednesday~  I rode the Wolfline bus in, and I went in early, so there were very few people on the bus to observe. I took advantage of the opportunity to read the rest of my homework assignment for class tonight. Speaking of class, I had totally forgotten about it (in spite of doing homework for … Read more
