~Thursday~ Library Man was aboard this morning, reading the News & Observer. I noticed Mrs. My Three Sons still making the two-block trek to have her kids board the bus where a lot of other kids also board. It’s actually a fairly significant walk for her, as she’s not a petite lady, so it’s extra … Read more
~Wednesday~ The city bus stops for me at a stop that is right after turning left onto Kaplan from Kent. This morning the bus did something I’ve never seen it do before. While it was stopped at that intersection waiting to turn left, where there’s a stop sign, it opened its doors and let someone … Read more
~Tuesday~ Once again, I had something going on after work and wanted more bus options at the end of the day, so I took the Wolfline bus in again this morning. It was perfect timing, as the bus arrived just as I arrived at the stop. A glance around the bus revealed three people doing … Read more
~Monday~ I rode the Wolfline in this morning for more options to get home in time to make it back to campus for class at 6:00. I wanted my car with me as tonight was Salon VIII, right after class, and we were meeting out at Sarah’s as she’s been having some health issues. On … Read more
~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
~Wednesday~ My wake-up call came at 6:00 only because my mom asked me to wake her up then. Personally, my alarm was set for 7:00. I went to our adjoining doors and called to her long enough to get a response and to be sure she was awake, and I lay back down. I never … Read more
~Monday~ There were no regulars on the bus, well Sci-Fi Fantasy Man was on, but way in the back and I didn’t see him until he got off the bus and walked up beside it before we pulled away. At the McKimmon Center, this quite big guy walked toward the bus (as it had stopped … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in and drove to Manbites Dog Theater Company in Durham for our February 1:00 – 2:30 board of directors meeting. A bright spot in the meeting was the presence of Marshall, who is going to be doing Donor Development work for the theater—something we’ve desperately needed, and if the articulation of his … Read more
~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
~Tuesday~ It was not as cold as I expected it to be this morning. There’s still quite a bit of snow on the ground, particularly in places “where the sun don’t shine.” The bus driver today was someone I haven’t seen before, a white guy, committed to not making eye contact with boarding customers—at least … Read more
