~Wednesday~ This morning’s buscapde includes a hurried threesome, a Marlon Brando lookalike, and some butt floss. The bus was running early today, and at one stop, three ladies boarded: the first one I’m quite sure walked like a duck, talked like a duck, and slept with other female ducks—I know she dressed like a duck the … Read more
~Sunday~ My alarm was set for 10:00 today, but I awoke at 8:30 and surrendered to the start of the day. We had our Manbites Dog Theater board meeting from 11:00 – 1:00. Everyone was able to attend, except Alice, who had a church function she needed to be at today. I stepped up to … Read more
~Thursday~ Carcapade: This morning I drove to work, because I needed my car to run an errand during lunch. At 8:50, I parked in a two-hour parking spot, knowing full well I wouldn’t be back to my car for close to three hours. I was relying on two things—one sensible, the other nonsense—to get me … Read more
~Wednesday~ Today’s buscapade is a riddle! You’re driving your car to work in the pouring rain when you see three people on the side of the road at an uncovered bus stop. You recognize one as your best friend waiting to go to work, the second is your perfect lover, someone that if you met … Read more
~Tuesday~ Rain falls, tempers rise: a buscapade. I woke up to the sound of torrential rain. A quick peek between blind slats at the rippling stream of water running along the pavement of the downhill parking area in front of my townhouse confirmed what I already knew. By the time I left for the bus … Read more
~Wednesday~ No complaints—or compliments for that matter—about the bus this morning. I read on the ride in. I used Twitter this morning to garner some “customer feedback” about our organization, and forwarded it on to management. At lunch time, I caught the Wolfline bus over to the NCSU Bookstore, where I purchased two gift cards. … Read more
This scene at the bus stop this morning inspired me to create my own “failblog.org-like” entry: I spent most of my morning preparing for an afternoon meeting that had been postponed twice over the past week or so. Three times was a charm, and the meeting went well. Glad I prepared for it. During lunch, … Read more
Where does the time go? Here we are moving into the final month of the first half of 2009, or if you’re a state government employee—into the final month of the fiscal year. The most fantastic buscapade took place today: I took a seat toward the front of the bus for less than thirty seconds, … Read more
I had my annual physical this morning, which I’ve been dreading for several months now. I got the usual cadre of annual physical checks starting with lab work, which I’d fasted for 12 hours in preparation for, and as always, I asked that an HIV test be included. The phlebotomist seemed like she was “in training”—which is … Read more
This morning I did something I think I’ve only done once before—I caught the 7:15 bus. Today’s observations: Upon boarding, thoughts at first glance for an open seat: “This is the service crowd.” I remember thinking that the last time I rode an earlier bus. Folks in various types of uniforms: fast food workers, grounds … Read more
