I forget to capture this yesterday: As I got off the bus coming home, the bus driver asked me, “Are you a teacher?” For some silly reason, that delighted me. Last week I described a “buscapade” about a (presumably) homeless man who, at a bus stop, told the bus driver that he “needed to get … Read more
I caught the 7:55 bus today instead of the 8:25. I was surprised to find my office door locked, as Rhonda is always in before me. Turned out she was on vacation today. I spent some time this morning preparing for a 1:00 meeting with Dana from the Operations team. I took the city bus … Read more
We slept in this morning, getting up at about 10:30. We decided to forgo the BBQ plate luncheon that was included in our Stomp Weekend Pass in favor of getting out of town earlier. We stopped at Replacements, Ltd. on the way back, in Greensboro, where I picked up a wedding gift for my neighbor’s … Read more

This was new news when I first saw it, but now it’s all over the Internet. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth the 7-minute investment. 47 Year old Susan Boyle wows the judges with her performance in the auditions for Britain’s Got Talent, singing I dreamed a dream from Les Miserables. Dream the dream. … Read more
I was going to work from home all morning, since my exterminator was expected some time between 8:00 and 11:00. However, he arrived at just after 9:00, so I jumped in the shower in an effort to make the 9:50 bus. With just a couple of minutes left, I was unable to find my badge—I … Read more
I was up and at ’em early this morning, as I had to make a grocery store run before catching the bus. Normally, I would have parked at the Food Lion and caught the Wolfline bus in from there, but the university buses were not running today, due to the Easter break. I committed to … Read more
