~Thursday~ I didn’t take any notes about my bus ride in and my mind is like a tabula rasa about it. I had lunch with Jude (my boss, who’s a woman, by the way—it’s short for Judith) at Laziz Biryani Corner, a place we both love. She “cashed in” her “Boss’s Day virtual gift card,” … Read more
~Wednesday~ The bus this morning brought us Madonna and Genetically-Beautiful Daughter in the front of the long center-facing seat on the right side of the bus, and passing them to choose my seat, I heard Sophia ask her mother, “But what about Mr. Wiggles?” Approaching the second or third stop after mine, I saw a hot—but … Read more
~Saturday~ I left my house at about 11:15 and went to Durham to help Robert move his couch and desk to his new place. For two old guys, we got it done without too much trouble. For lunch, we drove by Elmo’s Diner to find it way too busy to wait, and decided on Jimmy … Read more
~Thursday~ Another morning on the Wolfline bus instead of the city bus, and another N-2-B situation. I listened to my iPod on the ride in. At first I put on Macy Gray, but finding her a little too edgy for morning music (I am not a morning person), I switched over to the melodious Norah … Read more
~Wednesday~ Before leaving the house, I tried to renew my library book online, as I didn’t want to take it with me on the bus this morning if I didn’t have to take it over to the library during the day to return. I was shocked once again, but delighted once again, that I was … Read more
~Tuesday~ Not one of my named characters was on the bus this morning. I even re-checked the bus route (not that I could be on any bus other than the #12 Method Inbound, since it’s the only one that stops by my house) and I checked the time to see if perhaps I had fallen … Read more
~Saturday~ Evidently LiveJournal has introduced a search tool. Thank goodness! Not having one has long been one of the very few things that I don’t like about LJ. I’m not quite sure why I didn’t see an announcement on it; I found out via an e-mail from my friend Casey (cpeel): Howdy John, You’ll be … Read more
~Thursday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in again this morning. Students. Lots of them. Nuts to butts. We had our monthly area meeting to which our CIO was invited. Surprisingly, there was no lull in the Q&As. In fact, it took up a whole hour of the 1.5-hour meeting. We canceled our weekly 1.5-hour working … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in this morning and just enjoyed my “day off.” I caught up my Friday and Saturday blog entries, and I did a little volunteer work for Manbites Dog, as we have our October board meeting coming up on Wednesday evening. I tweeted about this on Friday, but haven’t yet covered it in … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 7:30 and out at SAS by 8:15 for the STC Judging Training, which went from 8:30-1:00. Anna, Jen and I signed up during the 10:30-10:45 break as Team 2 for the Online competition category, as Jen and I had to leave at 11:15 to do our volunteer stint at NC … Read more
