~Saturday~ I was up at 8:30 after eight hours of sleep. I pretty much avoided looking outside with Hurricane Irene lingering on the east coast today. I went into the office for a good chunk of the day, where I caught up on a lot of work tasks, as well as taking care of some … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was ready at 8:05, this morning and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Avent Ferry and Gorman at 8:10. A guy sitting next to me was reading a book that I couldn’t quite see without being any more obvious. I jotted down: Faber Fritts? as potentially being the author’s name, and … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was ready early this morning, so I killed a little time before going to the bus stop by installing Open Office on my home desktop computer, and collecting the trash around the house in anticipation of this week’s collection. It was the perfect temperature out this morning. I arrived at the city bus … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 7:30 this morning, and I left for Durham at 9:45, so as not to be rushed for my 10:30 meeting downtown. We had a productive Manbites Dog Theater board meeting, which was scheduled to end at noon, and we actually adjourned at 11:50. My kind of calendar integrity. I ran … Read more
~Monday~ I had another big ol’ bowl of All-Bran Bran Buds cereal for breakfast and brushed my teeth right after eating it, which was gross. Nothing worse than a fiber-toothed tiger. Packing my lunch to bring into the office, I couldn’t find my pill box. Not my pillbox hat; I know where that is—right there … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up early this morning after sleeping almost 12 hours. Glorious. I made moves in the five of seven active Scrabbles in which it was my turn, while i had coffee and a whole grain bagel with some honey walnut cream cheese on it. I spent a couple hours scraping all the text … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8;18, and the bus didn’t arrive until 8:29. See, that’s too big a variation for my taste. Especially when it’s hot and humid as f*ck outside. Here’s a little diagram for today’s buscapades: Seats 1 and 4 are forward-facing seats, and seats 2 and 3 are … Read more
~Saturday~ Not surprisingly I was up early due to falling asleep just after 10:00 last night. It was nice not to be rushed before heading out to Durham for our July Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors meeting. I stopped at the grocery store by my house, where I picked up a dozen Krispy Kreme … Read more
~Thursday~ I worked from 9:00 until about 10:15 at the Mission Valley Bruegger’s, where in spite of not getting the memo, it turned out to be “Gay Day.” There certainly were more of us there than the purported 10% average in the general population. I continue to be impressed with the management and staff of … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at the Gorman and Kaplan stop at 8:35, after waiting a mere 3 minutes—thanks to the wonders of GPS. I just mentioned the availability of “Zipcars” on campus now on the ride back from lunch with Libby on Tuesday, as we were discussing the pros and … Read more
