~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
~Sunday~ I woke up at just before 10:00 and immediately called the front desk asking for a late checkout, which they granted until 1:00. We were actually out of there by about 11:30, and we stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts, where I ordered a bagel with cream cheese, and a small coffee, which came to $3.65. … Read more
~Saturday~ We woke up at about 10:00, and I slept a little bit longer while Joe drove to the nearby Drunkin’ [sic] Donuts and got coffee and bagels for us. Sweet! Thanks, my friend. We hung out at the hotel pool for a couple of hours, where one of the hotel worker’s nine-year-old daughter babysat … Read more
~Friday~ I hit the snooze button one too many times this morning, which eventually precluded my making it to the bus stop in time for the 8:15 city bus. I used ncsu.transloc.com to time my arrival at the Wolfline #9 Greek Village Gorman and Kaplan stop to pretty much just step onto the bus—not without … 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
~Monday~ “Wow!” I thought walking to the bus stop, “This is the first time in I don’t know how long that both of my knees are pain-free.” I then went into a great, dramatic false memory of walking down an aisle and up to an altar, and having my forehead palm-slapped while a perspiring preacher … Read more
~Saturday~ I slept in this morning. Oh glorious weekend. I devised my blog entry from yesterday, which included the blow-by-blow of my Time-Warner Cable high speed modem upgrade customer service fiasco, and afterward I cut and pasted all of it into a feedback form on their website. Later in the day I received this response … Read more
~Friday~ I worked from home today, and this is what I said about it in a Facebook status update: Most of my day was consumed with editing our organization’s annual report to the chancellor. Late in the morning, I got a response from gotriangle.org regarding their erroneous sign that I discussed in Monday’s blog entry, … 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
