~Tuesday~ Since I was up on the early side this morning, I decided to drive to work, and I got the penultimate free parking spot down by the Raleigh Little Theater. Sweet. And since I don’t have a buscapde to share, I’ll share a link to this very short article from The Onion sent to … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was quasi organized this morning, so I only had to add the four heaping teaspoons of coffee into the coffee maker, which was already primed with a filter and water. I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:14, where within view there were three areas of the sidewalk “under construction.” I’m not … Read more
~Thursday~ I had a 10:30 meeting in the Avent Ferry Technology Center (AFTC) across from Mission Valley and instead of going to work over on Hillsborough Street and then catching a ride over there with colleagues, I decided just to head over there from home and work there until my meeting. I drove to the … Read more
~Wednesday~ I drove into work this morning and parked in some 2-hour curbside parking near my office. I parked at 8:40 and promptly set my phone alarm clock to 10:30 to get out there and move it by 10:40. I happened to look at the time at 10:44 and found my alarm set to 10:30 … Read more
~Friday~ I was up on time this morning, and I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus on Gorman up by Avent Ferry Road. I didn’t take any “buscapade” notes about this morning’s ride, so it was either totally unremarkable, or I was distracted reading Facebook updates on my phone, or possibly sleeping, on the … Read more
~Saturday~ Robert arrived at a little after 9:30 and a little after that we were on the road. It’s been quite a while since I’ve driven to Jacksonville, evidenced by not being exactly sure which exit to take off I-40, but remembering that it was after the Warsaw exit and that there was a sign … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up at 6:00 this morning, because I got to bed at a reasonable hour in a rare occurrence. And I was quite productive before heading to work: scanning the cover of a Tour de Friends booklet that contains the AIDS chain that I want to get a tattoo of, scanning the sequence … Read more
~Monday~ I caught a Wolfline bus in this morning, and what the kid sitting across me was reading reminded me that NC State is, indeed, an college with a history steeped in agriculture. It was some textbook about animals. A Middle Eastern guy ended up standing in the aisle right in front of me, and … Read more
~Saturday~ I ran an errand up in North Raleigh today, closing on the errand I ran back on December 30th, but this time took Six Forks Road up north instead of Capital Boulevard, which as anticipated, was much better in terms of smooth traveling. Once again, I stopped at Honey Baked Ham on the way, … Read more
~Saturday, Christmas Day~ I was up at 8:00, and shortly after that Joe called to wish me a Merry Christmas and to let me know that his dad had passed away earlier in the morning. Condolences to my dear friend and his family this Christmas Day. Rest in peace, Mr. Chason. I got on the … Read more
