Bus slippers, building appreciation, tax diversification & retail therapy, and my drag king friend!

~Thursday~  I checked my work e-mail on my phone while still in my bed. I had a request from my boss’s boss for a copy of some notes from a meeting last week that he wanted to look through before a 10:45 meeting of ours today. I caught the Wolfline #9a GV Tripper to DH … Read more

A well-rounded derriere, a foiled planning meeting, a red-eye photo, dinner w/Andrew, & dancing…

~Wednesday~  I parked at the Avent Ferry Food Lion Park & Ride @ 7:30 and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus. The young man who boarded in front of me sported a high-and-tight and wore a yellow T-shirt that highlighted his biceps, outlined his pecs, and showed only a little bit of paunch—presumably obtained … Read more

A board meeting, a chicken sausage sandwich, Ben joins the club, tea leaves read, & cocktails had…

~Saturday~  I was in Durham by 10:30 for our March Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors meeting, which went well, and finished a little early, as Jeff had to leave early for a tech rehearsal of an upcoming show at Duke. Robert joined me afterwards, in the beautiful weather, and we ate at King’s Sandwich … Read more

Signal sooner please, mom hangs up on me, secret shopper, and hauntingly beautiful writing…

~Tuesday~  I was up at 6:00 this morning, because I got to bed at a reasonable hour in a rare occurrence. And I was quite productive before heading to work: scanning the cover of a Tour de Friends booklet that contains the AIDS chain that I want to get a tattoo of, scanning the sequence … Read more

The elderly stand, the driver learns (or doesn’t), cavorting with a reader, and three days ahead…

~Monday~  I did about 30 minutes worth of work before leaving the house this morning, as I wanted to get something to my boss before a 9:00 meeting she was going to, and I wanted her to receive it with time for her to synthesize it with her own thoughts on the subject. To that … Read more

Mark Ash’s funeral, Striving for More’s fundraiser, and Glenn’s RSVP cruise stories…

~Saturday~  I slept in this morning, and at about 12:25 headed out to Apex for the funeral of Sarah Ash’s husband, Mark. I missed a very secluded turn into the Cox Aerodome,” which is a Private Jets Charter airfield, which I wasn’t expecting at the time. I thought I was going to a small regional … Read more

A crazy, crazy ride home: Rear-ended by a Lexus & then almost again 45 minutes later…

~Saturday~  I had a lazy, lazy day today. I never made it to the gym, but I did make it into my holiday bin to retrieve some of the red and white tissue paper to use in a Valentine’s Day basket I’m putting together. I finished up some leftover spaghetti tonight, and to that sauce … Read more

A glacial pace arm movement, interesting sweat formations, work affirmations, & Finger’s 30th…

~Friday~  I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16, and I waited on the sunny side of the street (literally, not figuratively) until the bus arrived at 8:25. The Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, but it wasn’t outrageously hot on the bus—just rageously hot. Library Man was aboard, whom I haven’t seen … Read more

What’s that on your nose and belly, lunch with Libby & Jude @ Coquettes, and a night in…

~Thursday~  I woke up at 7:00 to a dusting of snow, which had covered my car, but was not sticking to the road at all. Which was a good thing, as I had an 8:00 follow-up appointment with my dermatologist to check on the two things she did two weeks ago, and to do a … Read more
