~Thursday~ I was out of bread this morning, so I skipped my morning ritual of fixing a breakfast sandwich, which usually consists of a bagel thin, a turkey sausage patty, and hard-boiled egg whites. Nor did I brew my usual four cups of coffee to take to work in my thermos. Since, once I got … Read more
~Friday~ I ran behind this morning, so I drove up to the Wolfline stop, and I approached the Kaplan / Gorman intersection just as the Wolfline bus did, which is to say, I missed it. Checking the current whereabouts of the next one on my phone, I knew I had about ten minutes to wait, … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:30, had breakfast, and did a little bit of work on the agenda for our Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors meeting, before showering and heading to Durham for it. We had a productive meeting, with a guest presentation by Aden, an accountant volunteer who’s done a ton of work … Read more
~Sunday~ My alarm went off 6:00 and I snoozed until the 6:09 ring. I didn’t hear any movement in the hallway, which was surprising since Xolani and I had to leave at 6:30 to head downtown to the Clarion Hotel to meet Jesse and the others for their trip to DC. I knocked on Xolani’s door, … 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
~Sunday~ At 9:30, I headed out to Durberville to see Tess. Not really. But, I did head to Durham to attend our 10:00-11:30 Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors Meeting. It was a very good and productive meeting, one where emotions got a little high, but with everyone’s obvious commitment to the success of the … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up after eight glorious hours of sleep. I was having some very involved dreams, which I was happy to leave behind to dissolve in my mind. I spent a couple of hours going through papers and straightening out things in anticipation of cleaning my house tomorrow afternoon in preparation for Casey’s arrival … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in this morning. Glorious Sunday. Right after breakfast, I did two loads of laundry. Facebook is really off base with these ridiculous ads that keep popping up down the right side of my screen while I’m logged in: I tweeted this about them: Hate to tell advertisers that those [obviously Photoshopped—to the … Read more
~Tuesday~ I think my buscapade characters are conspiring against me for riding the Wolfline buses a lot lately. This morning’s city bus offered up only Sci-Fi Fantasy Man, reading as usual, but without the usual ear buds in. None of my other peeps made an appearance today. We had our weekly department meeting from 9:00-10:00 … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:30 and had a most delicious breakfast sandwich, consisting of turkey sausage, an over-easy egg, and a slice of American cheese melted on top—all on a Portuguese sweet roll. Heaven. I had just logged into Facebook to check out Robert’s Scrabble move, which he usually makes in the morning before … Read more
