~Sunday~ I forgot to capture this from yesterday. It’s from a follow-up e-mail from my uncle, from which I wanted to capture a few more affirmations: Writer you are, I would be on the computer 24 hours if I wrote all the things you write about. You do one hell of a job… I will … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:30, and I made coffee and had a bagel along with a hard-boiled egg minus the yolk. Checking my e-mail, I was surprised and delighted to receive a note from my uncle in Florida, who had received my Christmas card and letter. It had a lot of affirmations in it, … Read more
~Wednesday~ I had breakfast at Pam’s Farm House restaurant, and the waitress was at our table and poised with her pad and pen within seconds after having delivered our coffee. The two people with me were still looking at their menus, so I joked to her as she stood in the ready position, “You sure … Read more
~Tuesday~ The Wolfline bus is not running now until school starts back up in January, so it’s the city bus for sure today and tomorrow, and then I’m done for the year. One nice thing about working for the university is that it shuts down (for all intents and purposes) the week between Christmas and … Read more
~Saturday~ I met my friend Hugh at Helios for some coffee, company, and to deliver my organization’s collection for Love Wins Ministry. As always, Hugh and I had great conversation, mostly about things that matter. We walked out together, and I transferred the goods to his car with him, and he was off to meet Jennifer, … Read more
~Wednesday~ I took the Wolfline bus in this morning, as I needed to leave work at lunch time and the time interval between Wolfline buses is much smaller (every 10 minutes or so) than between city buses (every hour) during the time when I’d be needing my ride home. The bus was not very crowded, … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up again around 10:30 and Ricardo came down shortly after that. We weren’t expecting Kevin home until after his last game, which started at 11:00 and ran for 90 minutes. However, at about 11:15, he surprised us at the door. Turns out there were “consolation games” in the tournament schedule that they … Read more
~Saturday~ Ricardo and I were up at around 10:30, by which time Kevin was long gone out to Morrisville to referee his first tournament soccer game that started at 8:00. We had a bagel and some coffee, and after about an hour-and-a-half we headed out to Morrisville to watch a couple of (potentially, depending on … Read more
~Friday~ I’m so grateful for having been able to work from home today. I got a boatload of stuff done including: four news blurbs for December’s OIT News, completing an edit of that document for our CIO that I started yesterday, and editing a document in full that my manager wrote on “Green IT.” I … Read more
~Wednesday~ Due to the nasty, nasty weather this morning—some wind and torrential rain, I drove over to the Wofline bus stop on Gorman, where I can sit in my car across from the stop until I see the bus coming, and which drops me off much closer to my building than the city bus. For … Read more
