~Monday~ Last night before going to bed, I called the front desk for a late check-out, and they gave us until 1:00PM. However, we were up and at ’em before 10:00, in fact in time to get downstairs before 10:00 and enjoy some complimentary breakfast. We were checked out and on the road home by … Read more
~Tuesday~ The prodigal son (that would be me) returned to the city bus today and although it was my standard 8:15 ride, none of my characters were aboard or boarded en route to my work. An African-American man sat across the aisle from me on my row, and he wore brown sunglasses—for what reason I … Read more
~Monday~ I drove in to work this morning, so no buscapdes. I was very cranky today, so I just stayed as much to myself as possible at work. I attended an hour-long meeting, which was scheduled right smack dab in the middle of lunch (11:30-12:30), and that didn’t help my mood any. A friend of … Read more
~Saturday~ I went back to sleep at 6:00 and got up at 11:30 amidst the most ridiculous, ridiculous dream. The Portuguese sweet bread known as massa is indeed all gone, but now I’ve thawed out the Bolos Levedos that I’d put in my freezer. These are Portuguese muffins, also a little bit on the sweet … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus into work, which sadly, was lacking buscapde material. These drugs are kicking ass. I can already feel an improvement in my cough. My application for re-enrollment as a student in non-degree status was completed today, and I was accepted back getting my old student ID number … Read more
~Wednesday~ The bus this morning brought us Madonna and Genetically-Beautiful Daughter in the front of the long center-facing seat on the right side of the bus, and passing them to choose my seat, I heard Sophia ask her mother, “But what about Mr. Wiggles?” Approaching the second or third stop after mine, I saw a hot—but … Read more
~Saturday~ Robert arrived at around 10:30, and we headed downtown to see the Dog Olympics, which is “a charitable event that is open to dogs of all breeds, shapes, and sizes. Medal events include athletic and non-athletic competitions such as doggie limbo, musical sit (similar to musical chairs), best beggar, best pet trick, Frisbee toss, … Read more
~Monday~ It’s the “City of Raleigh–Try Transit Week,” for which today’s bus driver did nothing toward making it an experience that might make one say, “Yeah, this is great! I could do this—and enjoy it!” He floored the gas pedal before I made it anywhere close to a seat, which made me slide a little on … Read more
~Friday~ Okay, it’s official. Grumpy Boy does have a sense of humor. And once again the evidence of that was on his t-shirt, which today instead of saying, “Does this shirt make me look grumpy?” said, “You’re not yourself today. I noticed the improvement immediately.” At one stop, a man got on the bus, while two … Read more
~Thursday~ Our very little girl with the little yellow purse on the vertically extended arm got on the bus again this morning. She had on yellow socks to match her purse—and I find it hard to believe that I’ve not noticed these before if they’re not new: she had on large, gold, serpentine hoop earrings. And … Read more
