Holey knees; if it weren’t for bad luck, she’d have no luck at all; deadly artifacts; and a $$$ trip

~Thursday~  Once again, I was ready between the 30-minute interval of the city bus, so I rode over to the Avent Ferry and Gorman Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus stop, which would be a convenient place to pick up my car after a luncheon I would be attending down the road on Avent Ferry. Since … Read more

17,000 wheelchair accessible balloon rides, quiet in the office, greasy grilling, and a workout…

~Monday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, where I waited on the shady side of the street until the bus arrived, late, at 8:26. I believe I may have mentioned this ad before, which was on today’s bus: Serena’s Song: The World’s First Wheelchair-Accessible Hot Air Balloon. Of course my initial thought … Read more

Making up on the bus, my heart takes a trip back in time, and somebody’s leg gets puked on…

~Friday~  I had planned on driving to work again today, but since the city bus was due pretty much at the time I was ready, I went ahead and caught it in. The weather was a perfect 68° this morning. A lady to the left of me and up a row read a book that … Read more

Sign of progress, thatsa bowl of watermelon, tropical fun, Mesquite fries, Dixit, a sh*tty prize…

~Thursday~  I drove to work this morning, because I only needed a two-hour parking spot, of which there are plenty around my building when the students are out for the summer. I got a big smile on my face when I got to the light at the Gorman and Kaplan intersection, where I saw a … Read more

To work, back, and to work again; the idiom police; a hellbent task completed; & melon criteria fail

~Wednesday~  I was ready for work with a lot of time before the next either city or university bus would arrive, so I decided to take a chance and drive to work. But when I got to the few spots relatively near my work that don’t have a two-hour limit to them, they were all … Read more

A quiet conversation with the air, a hellbent lost and found task, and not being a dog…

~Tuesday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, where after ten minutes of just standing there, the back of my shirt was wet with sweat. Can you say humid as f*ck again? And zero breeze. The bus arrived at 8:26, and not a moment too soon. I’ll give you a topic, “Neither Hot … Read more

Unclean but not in mind, designers who don’t use their products, and being my doppelganger…

~Monday~  I was ready to leave the house well before the next city bus, so I checked TVS for the current location of the Wolfline bus, which was in a place that I could get to the nearest stop just in time to catch. At the stop, I made a note that that sign I … Read more

An eating kinda day, a lost and found credit card, 1000% humidity, and girls night out drag show…

~Friday~  Looking in my wallet this morning, I noticed that my credit card was missing. I checked two other places in the house that it could possibly be—to no avail. I quickly reviewed yesterday’s activity, remembering that the last time I used it was last night at the grocery store, and I made a mental … Read more

The enforcer/aggressor, Sadlack’s bar, “luck,” wi-fi and hand-waving, and fruitless errands…

~Thursday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:17. Checking Facebook status updates while waiting, I sent an email to myself with a link to an article called, “Why Some People Have All the Luck,” that my friend Rob Shook posted and commented about. The bus arrived at 8:20, with The Enforcer at the … Read more
