~Monday~ I attended Moral Monday again, and it was so incredibly hot out there, that I probably wasn’t there more than 30 or 40 minutes—long enough to snap some pictures of signs. The main focus of the protest today was on Women’s Rights, and I believe around 100 people got arrested. Here’s a shot of … Read more
~Monday~ I attended Moral Monday again today, starting off the same way I did last week, with a drink at The Borough, while I waited for the R-Line bus to make its way to my stop. I wanted to see the process from a different angle, and I focused a little more on the signs … Read more

~Wednesday~ Before parking for the bus on Gorman, I ran into the Food Lion and bought a bag of King’s Hawaiian Sandwich Rolls and used one of them to make my breakfast sandwich and another to make my lunch sandwich later in the day. I initiated what turned out to be a fun, fun, fun … Read more
~Monday~ I was up at 7:15 and to my dentist’s new office by 7:50 for my 8:00 appointment.

Dare to live your authentic life. Doing so probably saved my life. #JustDoIt” Of course my Twitter feed goes to Facebook’s … Read more
I caught the 8:25 bus this morning, and it was uneventful other than the fact that it wasn’t one of the regular buses used in the fleet. There were a lot fewer seats, as they weren’t facing the front of the bus, like the regular bus that is used. Instead, there was just seating along … Read more
I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the gym at 9:45, and I only did lower body resistance work today. I’ll get my cardio in tonight at dancing. This is the second—and I hope, last—day of morning workouts, which really is tough for me. I am so not a morning person. Today’s workout statistics: Exercise Type Minute Duration … Read more
I volunteered for ENC today, for two hours, in their new office on Hargett Street. I enjoyed this work much more than making phone calls, which is what I did the last couple of times I volunteered for them.

It seems rather unlikely that two things would happen on the same day, that you thought would never happen in your entire life, and you’d forget to put them in your daily blog, but that’s exactly what happened yesterday. Without further ado, here they are: Andy Griffith—yes, Andy Taylor, Sheriff of Mayberry, that very one—called me yesterday, … Read more
