~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
~Friday~ Once again, I took the Wolfline bus to work instead of the city bus in order to have more options to get home, as a big winter storm has been squawked about for way too many days now, and the last report I listened to (which admittedly was probably two days ago) estimated its … Read more
~Monday~ Gerald Sydnor, my plumber, arrived at about 9:20, and he spent a good three-and-a-half hours here replacing: my kitchen sink faucet, my garbage disposal, my master bathroom sink faucet, and my master bathroom shower head. I actually didn’t have the garbage disposal or the shower arm/head, so I ran to Lowe’s to buy them … Read more
~Friday~ This morning, I took the bus seat in front of Sci-Fi Fantasy Man who was, well, reading science fiction fantasy, as that’s what he does. I was just happy to see him. In addition to the standard, long bus rear view mirror, on this bus there was a little round mirror as well—about a … Read more
~Thursday, New Year’s Eve~ This is my 365th entry this year. Another full calendar year of not missing a day of blogging. Yay, me. I was up at 9:00, which is fairly early for me on a vacation day, and after a sesame bagel with honey walnut cream cheese and some coffee, I put in … Read more
~Tuesday~ The prodigal son (that would be me) returned to the city bus today and although it was my standard 8:15 ride, none of my characters were aboard or boarded en route to my work. An African-American man sat across the aisle from me on my row, and he wore brown sunglasses—for what reason I … Read more
~Monday~ I had the most ridiculous dreams all night long about editing a document in Microsoft Word that was going to be published on the web. Inane. I got behind enough this morning to miss the 8:15 city bus, so I carried myself over to Gorman Street to catch the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus. … Read more
~Friday~ I was really behind this morning. I caught a Wolfline bus, close to 9:00. It was more crowded than I thought it would be, as it would arrive on campus too late for a 9:00 class. It was crowded enough that the aisle filled up to the point that eventually someone completely obstructed my … Read more
~Monday~ Excitement on the bus this morning, although it started out like any other day: Madonna and Genetically-Beautiful Daughter got off at the stop after mine (with Sophia’s beautiful hair tied in a long braid that hung down the middle of her back), Sci-Fi Fantasy Man read, and as far as I saw when I … Read more
~Friday~ Okay, it’s official. Grumpy Boy does have a sense of humor. And once again the evidence of that was on his t-shirt, which today instead of saying, “Does this shirt make me look grumpy?” said, “You’re not yourself today. I noticed the improvement immediately.” At one stop, a man got on the bus, while two … Read more
