~Saturday~ As briandrdu predicted several months ago when this same thing happened to another limb, “If that’s a Bradford Pear, it’ll happen again.” Sure enough; this is what it looked like yesterday: I went for a walk around Lake Johnson and when I left, a service was here to clean up the mess. When I … Read more
~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
~Sunday~ A couple of weeks ago, I thought I was buying a bag of 3 Musketeers mini-bars, but they turned out to be Baby Ruths, of which I’m not all that fond. Thinking back, I can’t believe I didn’t even turn the bag over. I grabbed the bag, which was face-down, just assuming they were … Read more
~Sunday~ I’d set my alarm for 11:00, but was up at 9. I made a most delicious turkey sausage and cheddar cheese omelet for breakfast, which I enjoyed with some whole wheat toast and coffee. In what’s as close to a Sunday morning ritual that I’ve been able to keep, I listened to a country … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus in, but only took it half the distance I usually take it, as I had a meeting in another building at 9:00—or so I thought. I got off the bus at the Gorman/Sullivan Streets intersection and walked the short way down the street to the Admin II building. … Read more
~Monday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus, and there were only two people already on when I boarded. At the next stop, a sync stop, the bus driver actually got out of the bus holding his pointer and middle finger up saying, “Two minutes folks,” as he departed. He played on his smart phone for … Read more
~Sunday~ Here are two things I wanted to capture last night, but forgot to—both having to do with songs I heard on Foxy 107/104 on the way downtown to Courtney’s gig at Hibernian: The first was this song with the most inane lyrics by a guy with a deep—trying to be sexy—voice à la Barry … Read more
~Saturday~ I stayed close to home, well at home to be exact, until about 5:30 at which time my stomach felt settled enough to venture to the gym. I did cardio work, with 60 minutes on the elliptical machine for a 1070-calorie burn, during which I listened to the Recordings for Someone podcast episode of … Read more
~Friday~ In a repeat performance of Wednesday, Jen picked me up to ride into work together, as I was once again her back-up presenter / assistant at this morning’s Information Technology presentation to the students at New Student Orientation (NSO). And once again, we stopped in the office before walking over to the Cinema in … Read more
~Monday~ It was not overly sunny this morning, but it was hot and there was no breeze. A bird sat perched at the top of the bus stop sign, right in the middle of it like it was placed there rather than having just landed there. I took a picture of it with my cell … Read more
