A board meeting, a fortuitous lunch, a workout, ebony/ivory & chubby/older fetishes, & Casey arrives

~Sunday~  At 9:30, I headed out to Durberville to see Tess. Not really. But, I did head to Durham to attend our 10:00-11:30 Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors Meeting. It was a very good and productive meeting, one where emotions got a little high, but with everyone’s obvious commitment to the success of the … Read more

Star wars, colon cancer, an editorial, a good workout, and a bad bar night…

~Friday~  I was back on the city bus and back at 8:15. I took a seat across and one row back from Sci-Fi Fantasy Man, who was wearing a very nice London Fog charcoal-colored trench coat and heads down in a book. His books are usually small and thin. This one was larger and thicker … Read more

Eating disorders, despising in others, aboard the Cluetrain, dinner, and a hag…

~Wednesday~  I was up early again this morning, and caught the Wolfline (#9 Greek Village) bus in to work. This was probably the last bus students could catch to get to an 8:00 class, and before it was all said and done, there were people standing in the aisle, but it wasn’t butts-to-nuts. 8:00 classes … Read more

Mr. Streetname, a mis-taken exercise sheet, a nice card, The Road, & disco night…

~Saturday~  I love starting my day off with a laugh, although it rarely happens as I’m not at all a morning person. Perhaps if I were more open to it, it would happen more often. My doorbell rang at 8:05 and when I opened the door, I found the guy here to do my quarterly … Read more

A bus ride in the dark, existential sunrise thoughts, disappearing idling cars, a workout, & dancing

~Wednesday~  I caught the 6:45 city bus this morning, so not surprisingly none of my characters were on board. It was still dark out at that time, and it’s another cold day here, so most people had on lots of clothing. Two people, whom I think were both men (well, college boys), both got off … Read more

Implicit affirmations, eating weenies with men, a personal space invader, and hours of minutes…

~Sunday~  Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Slept in. Sesame seed bagel with honey walnut cream cheese. Yolkless hard-boiled egg. Coffee. What can I say? I’m and ESFJ, and I like routine. The good news is that that was the last bagel. Look for a change-up tomorrow. I’ve been meaning to capture this: Although I didn’t attend any … Read more

Waning vacation days, a mistaken identity caller, coffee w/Patrick, and dancing…

~Saturday~  I was up at 11:00 after a full eight hours sleep. Glorious—albeit too-quickly disappearing—vacation days. For breakfast, I had a bagel and a yolkless hard-boiled egg along with a sesame seed bagel with honey walnut cream cheese on it, and some coffee from a coffee pot that was on its best behavior this morning. … Read more

New Year’s Day, poetry rips someone a new one, an exciting Scrabble game, and a short night out…

~Friday, New Year’s Day~ Image Courtesy: 123Greetings.com Robert and I got up around 10:00 this morning, and the new year started off with an ornery coffee pot that worked my last nerve on the first day of the year. After an amount of futzing with it, the 10-cup amount of ingredients I put into the … Read more

Traveling home from Virginia Beach, a short engaging animated film, and some karaoke…

~Monday~  Last night before going to bed, I called the front desk for a late check-out, and they gave us until 1:00PM. However, we were up and at ’em before 10:00, in fact in time to get downstairs before 10:00 and enjoy some complimentary breakfast. We were checked out and on the road home by … Read more
