~Sunday~ We were up just before nine after a good eight hours of sleep. For breakfast, I microwaved some pre-cooked turkey sausage patties, sliced up a hard-boiled egg, and put them on a nice soft small square roll. Good stuff. Robert was a dear and folded laundry while I worked on creating a simple chart … Read more
~Saturday~ I futzed around today, eventually getting to the grocery store at 4:00. Once home, I made up some Clam & Cream Cheese Dip, and browned Italian Sausage that I’d bought for dinner. Robert arrived at a little after 5:00, and we enjoyed the dip with some pretzels while I heated up the three-cheese spaghetti … Read more
This scene at the bus stop this morning inspired me to create my own “failblog.org-like” entry: I spent most of my morning preparing for an afternoon meeting that had been postponed twice over the past week or so. Three times was a charm, and the meeting went well. Glad I prepared for it. During lunch, … Read more
I got up at 10:00 to a cup of coffee waiting for me by my computer. Thanks, sweet man. Robert left around noon, and I actually went back to the bed and talked to nappy for two more hours. I made a conscious decision to enjoy the laziness of the day, knowing I had stuff … Read more
Robert arrived at about 12:30, and we left the house at about 1:40 for Kathryn and Mark’s 2:00 wedding at Forest Hills Baptist Church over at Dixie Trail and Clark. We wound through an amazing maze inside the church to find “the little chapel in the back.” On the way in, we met two of … Read more
Wednesday’s buscapade: There was a lady on the bus this morning of whom I’ve spoken before, but not enough to name. The most notable thing about her is that she’s one of those people who speaks very loudly, which being the ubiquitous bus attribute that it is, doesn’t exactly single her out to you, I’m … Read more
I thought up this pastiche this morning after seeing the video below. “If a woman loses pace with her companions, perhaps it is because she hears a different drummer. Let her step to the music in which she hears, however measured, or far away.” ~Henrietta Davida Thorette~ For some reason this reminds me of Annie … Read more
I learned from a tweet today that there are some cool “quick searches” that can be done from google.com, Use these search arguments: To see the weather for many U.S. and worldwide cities, type “weather” followed by the city and state, U.S. zip code, or city and country. Type in weather new york city, ny … Read more
This morning’s buscapade evoked two thoughts: There’s no eating, smoking, drinking, or profanity on the CAT bus. Frances Conroy‘s character Ruth Fisher on HBO’s Six Feet Under, “Language!” A man got on the bus on his cell phone, taking a seat maybe two rows behind me. He was in the midst of heated (read: screaming) discussion … Read more
29 years ago today, I walked into New Employee Orientation at International Business Machines, where I enjoyed a 28-year career that ended on my own terms on September 12, 2008. I read more of Dewey on the bus on the way in. Each driver seems to have a different idea of exactly where the bus should … Read more
