~Friday~ I read a little bit of Bossypants on the Kindle at the boss stop, and yes, laughed out loud a couple of times like a loony bin. For some weird reason, whenever I picture the author saying these funny things, it occurs to me right after it that I’ve pictured Paula Poundstone as opposed … Read more
~Thursday~ I forgot to mention this yesterday: My weekly visitor (sounds like I’m on the rag, only a little too often, doesn’t it) was in the office yesterday, through whom I found out there are only two degrees of separation between me and Scotty McCreery! My part-time officemate fishes with Scotty’s dad! When I stepped … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up at 7:00 and out at the city bus stop at 7:45. There was a man there with earbuds in, who did at least acknowledge me with a nod, if not with a response to my, “Good morning.” It was a little nipply out at 61°, and the bus was annoyingly late, … Read more
~Thursday~ I was tired this morning. If I could’ve stayed in the bed, I most certainly would have. When I went to make my coffee, breakfast, and lunch to take to work, I realized I’d left my thermos at work yesterday, so that sucked. Since I’d bought some King’s Hawaiian rolls, I made two “sausage … Read more
~Wednesday~ I parked at the Avent Ferry Park & Ride this morning, and walking across the parking lot, I ran into my friend Jackie, student team leader of our 2010 ASB Gulf Coast trip. From our short conversation to the bus, I learned about what the Food Lion management considers to be “perimeter” parking there … Read more
~Tuesday~ I parked at the Avent Ferry Park & Ride in anticipation of heading downtown after work for the End-of-the-Semester SIGDOC gathering at Flying Saucer. There was only a handful of folks on the bus, and several of the kids on it were studying en route. It is exam week after all. In an unusual … Read more
~Monday~ The weather was beautiful again this morning, and it’s the type of weather that if I had to pick weather that I wouldn’t mind living in for the rest of my life, this would be it. I’m sure some of you would argue that I’d get tired of it—miss the seasons, perhaps—but I’m an … Read more
~Thursday~ I parked at the Avent Ferry Park & Ride and caught the 8:00 Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus. You can tell it’s exam week at the university as a bunch of kids were studying on the bus, which reminded me that I need to check the university bus schedule to see when they switch … Read more
~Wednesday~ I left my place at 8:00, and I parked at the Avent Ferry Park & Ride with plans to do a quick run into the Food Lion upon my return home this evening. Had to get those raisins I mentioned yesterday. The Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus driver was standing outside the bus talking … Read more
~Tuesday~ I parked on Gorman street, and the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus arrived as soon as I crossed the street for the bus stop. That same older guy that I described at length yesterday—the one with the big fat wedding band on—was aboard today and had on another long-sleeved t-shirt, today’s being Old Navy … Read more
