~Wednesday~ I drove into work this morning and parked in some 2-hour curbside parking near my office. I parked at 8:40 and promptly set my phone alarm clock to 10:30 to get out there and move it by 10:40. I happened to look at the time at 10:44 and found my alarm set to 10:30 … Read more
~Sunday~ I liked this particular postcard from this week’s PostSecret collection as much for what it said as for what was written in response to it. My brother recently married a stripper. Although she’s functionally illiterate, probably severely psychologically damaged, and holds a very different set of values from the rest of our family… she’s become … Read more
~Friday~ I was up on time this morning, and I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus on Gorman up by Avent Ferry Road. I didn’t take any “buscapade” notes about this morning’s ride, so it was either totally unremarkable, or I was distracted reading Facebook updates on my phone, or possibly sleeping, on the … Read more
~Wednesday~ I snoozed enough times this morning to miss the 8:15 city bus. I killed a little time online, as I watched the progress of the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus on the online GPS system that tracks it. When I thought it was close enough, I hopped in my car, and drove down to … Read more
~Saturday~ We slept in this morning, and Kevin and I officially said hello after having slept in the same room, but not having seen each other awake. Kevin checked in with his friend (nick)named Apollo to see if we could stop by his room to pick up some passes that he’d gotten for us, which … Read more
~Thursday~ My throat was sore when I woke up this morning, and I harked up gobs of unmentionable goo. Mark that one up to over-sharing first thing in the morning. I was at the bus stop at 8:10, way too early for the the 8:15 bus, but I had my Kindle with me and used … Read more
~Wednesday~ I woke up not feeling at all well this morning. I had sniffles (perhaps a “summer cold” coming on, as they like to say “down here”), and I had an upset stomach. I arrived at the bus stop at 7:19, which was starting to push it for the 7:15 bus, but it didn’t arrive … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 9:00, and I prepared sausage “biscuits” for our 10:30 board meeting. That means that I microwaved 15 sausage patties and sliced 15 rolls on which to place them. + I actually arrived in Durham at the Manbites Dog Theater with 15 minutes to spare before the meeting, instead of rushing in … Read more
~Friday~ I read a little bit of Bossypants on the Kindle at the boss stop, and yes, laughed out loud a couple of times like a loony bin. For some weird reason, whenever I picture the author saying these funny things, it occurs to me right after it that I’ve pictured Paula Poundstone as opposed … Read more
~Thursday~ I forgot to mention this yesterday: My weekly visitor (sounds like I’m on the rag, only a little too often, doesn’t it) was in the office yesterday, through whom I found out there are only two degrees of separation between me and Scotty McCreery! My part-time officemate fishes with Scotty’s dad! When I stepped … Read more
