~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
~Tuesday~ Library Man was on the bus this morning, and as always, was reading a magazine. I took the seat behind him, and you know I peered over the seat to see what he was reading—PC World magazine an article called, “Why you should use sleep mode every day.” Sci-Fi Fantasy Man was also on … Read more
~Friday~ I got on the Wolfline bus at its second stop, again to find an early morning grocery shopper toward the front of the bus taking up two seats with her bags. I took the seat next to her, but on the other side of a partition. Unlike the shopper last Friday however, this one quickly realized … 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
~Friday~ I was running behind this morning, so I once again took the Wolfline bus. There is a grocery store at the beginning of the line I take, and I got on at the second stop. A kid had been shopping that early in the morning, and he had his grocery bags sprawled across the … 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
~Tuesday~ Shortly after I arrived at the bus stop this morning, I heard what sounded and somewhat looked like a bus pull up to the intersection before my stop. I say “somewhat” looked like a bus, because from what I could see of it from that intersection, which was essentially only the front half of … Read more
