The Greek Festival, Kathryn & Mark’s housewarming party, and brownout night…

~Saturday~  I was up at a decent hour, since I was to bed at a decent hour. Funny how that works. Robert arrived at shortly after noon, and we made our way over to the fairgrounds for The Greek Festival. I had free admission tickets, compliments of a (Greek) co-worker, who’s involved with the festival … Read more

Chin whisker laser surgery beard, a visually crisp morning, 2-years today, a haircut, & dancing…

~Wednesday~  I caught the 6:45 bus, which was so on time that I would have missed it if I’d’ve run back to my house to get my phone charger that I’d forgotten, like I’d thought about doing. When I got on, there were two other people already aboard at this god-awful hour, including an older … Read more

SSDD on the bus, 3 parts to a genuine apology, ASB starts up, and happiness social media style…

~Tuesday~  I caught the 8:15 city bus, and although Stagnant Driver wasn’t the driver, it was stagnant on the bus anyway. I just don’t understand. What’s so hard about sensing that even just a fan blowing to circulate the air on the bus would make it more comfortable? A guy who got on at Gorman … Read more

Glee Club with Jen, stocking up food at work, Facebook twins, & scareyoke…

~Sunday~  My alarm was set for 11:15. I woke up at 11:30. Good thing it wasn’t a work day, as it turned out it was set for 11:15 PM. I hate it when that happens. I attended “Glee Club” at Jen’s house at 2:00, and we watched the first three episodes after the Sectionals episode: … Read more

Crazy self-talk, please assess my Jungian complex, and a long night of mostly drinking…

~Sunday~  Oh glorious sleeping in, I appreciated you so much this morning. I went to the gym at around 2:30, where I did 60 minutes of cardio work on the elliptical machine for an 1162-calorie burn. I really wasn’t “feeling it” today, and the inner dialog started right at about the 20-minute mark with, “I’m … Read more

The bus at oh-dark-hundred; humming in the mens room; tea leaves, Tarot cards, and fun, oh my!

~Friday~  I got to bed at 2:00AM, so the 5:45 AM alarm was too soon and not at all welcomed. I think this might be the first time—in the almost two years now that I’ve been riding the bus to work—that it’s been dark when I’ve walked to the bus stop. I caught the 6:15 city … Read more

Hot up in here, lotta stuff, an arrogant Christian, a calendar FAIL, and a short night out…

~Friday~  I caught the 8:15 city bus, and Stagnant Driver drove up in the mobile steamer. At a subsequent stop, a girl got on and when she slid her fare card in the machine, it said, “Please pay fare shown.” She held her hand above the screen to block the sun to try and see … Read more

A sick day, a comment by a wife about my sleeping with her husband, and Pro Se stories…

~Monday~  I took a sick day today, and slept until just after noon. I spent a lot of time in the bathroom today. ‘Nuff said. In the world of social media, two things of interest—one an affirmation: I have removed the “Interested in: Men” indicator in my Facebook profile, because when it’s checked, almost all … Read more

A 35-year blast from the past, a wallet “feature,” the Transportation Office, & an expiring farecard

~Friday~  At the bus stop this morning, my BlackBerry notified me that “Miss Wood” had confirmed our friendship on Facebook. Miss Wood (who is now very Mrs. Wood, complete with children and grandchildren) was one of my high school math teachers, and my friend Mike Manuel from high school “recommended” that I friend her a … Read more

MBD BOD meeting, hanging at Robert’s place, The Kids Are All Right, & the pre-party that wasn’t…

~Saturday~  I was up at 8:00 this morning, since I got to bed early. I had a couple of turkey sausage biscuits for breakfast with some coffee, while I finished up my Friday blog entry. For the rest of the morning, I finalized the agenda for our board meeting at noon, and finished up the … Read more
