~Friday~ I caught the city bus for the first time in a while, arriving at the stop at 8:17 and boarding the bus at 8:25. Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, and the temperature on the bus was warm, but not excruciating. A guy who boarded at the Gorman and Conifer stop took way … Read more
~Tuesday~ I drove over to Gorman and Avent Ferry, and picked up the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus at about 8:00. Once again, the bus filled up within the first two or three stops, which meant that soon thereafter there were rear ends about my face. I couldn’t help thinking that the back pocket (or … Read more
~Monday~ I was up early this morning, and I drove over to the Avent Ferry Park & Ride to catch one of the Wolfline buses. Both the #9 Greek Village and the #1 Avent Ferry were there, and I walked up to the closed door of the #9, which was in front of the #1, … Read more
~Thursday~ It was a typical morning, except an hour earlier today. I was at the city bus stop at 7:17 and the bus arrived at 7:25. 70% Geek / 30% Military arrived at the stop after me, and as is his M.O., took out a hardback book and read. A man walking on the other … Read more
~Thursday~ I woke up at about 8:45 to day goodbye to av8rdude, who was meeting a friend for breakfast and then heading on to DC to visit another friend on his “2010 East Coast Christmas Tour.” I went back to sleep and got up at about 10:30. Glorious vacation. I waffled about going to the … Read more
~Tuesday~ It was nice to wake up to electricity this morning. I had my alarm set for 10:00, but I woke up at 8:30 and in a rare occurrence I was unable to fall back asleep. I got up and got started on things that needed to be done before my house guest arrived, the … Read more
~Sunday~ I woke up to lots and lots of snow. The obligatory neighborhood snow pictures: My Back Deck The Nematomobile (My Car) (That’s it in the middle of the pic with just the edge of the front bumper exposed.) Townhouses Across the Way from Mine I’m glad there are people who find joy in all … Read more
~Saturday~ At a little after 12:30, I met Jen at the Hillsborough Building where we work on NC State’s campus. We left her car there, and I drove us to The Diner in Glenwood South, to which Jen had never been, and where we had lunch and bookend cocktails. Hey, it was after noon. Jen … Read more
~Thursday~ NC State University was on a weather delay today, starting at 10:00. I checked in with my boss at just after 9:00, which just made me nostalgic for “the good old days.” I was at the bus stop in time for the 9:45 bus, and although the CAT system website said that some buses … Read more
~Tuesday~ Wash. Rinse. Repeat. I was running late yet again this morning. I really need to start setting my alarm ten minutes earlier in the morning. When I got to the Food Lion Park & Ride, there were two Wolfline buses waiting, the #1 Avent Ferry and the #9 Greek Village. I got on the … Read more
