Saved by a colleague, more unsolicited feedback, another fraud check, & a holy trinity bar night…

~Friday~  I drove to work this morning, where with no all-day free parking available, I took a two-hour spot and set my alarm for 10:35 to move my car. My work afternoon was much more productive than my morning, but hey, that’s all in a day’s work. A colleague and friend, David Ladrie, dropped by … Read more

Is the bus close, credit card fraud free-for-all, a really misplaced modifier, & smokes for dancing

~Wednesday~  I was running way behind this morning, so much so that I caught the #9 Wolfline at the Gorman and Kaplan stop at 8:40. When I arrived at the stop, a student was there waiting and seeing me look at my CrackBerry, she asked, “Is it close?” “Yes, it’s at the stop before this … Read more

17,000 wheelchair accessible balloon rides, quiet in the office, greasy grilling, and a workout…

~Monday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, where I waited on the shady side of the street until the bus arrived, late, at 8:26. I believe I may have mentioned this ad before, which was on today’s bus: Serena’s Song: The World’s First Wheelchair-Accessible Hot Air Balloon. Of course my initial thought … Read more

A drink from the bubbler and a lake walk, a Two Guys Groupon, & Mrs. Chason passes…

~Saturday~  I slept in and enjoyed a leisurely morning. In the early afternoon, I got a wild hair and actually swept and mopped my kitchen and downstairs bathroom floors. And I enjoyed the clean smell of Pine Sol® all day. Robert arrived at about 3:00, and we went for a walk around the lake for … Read more

Making up on the bus, my heart takes a trip back in time, and somebody’s leg gets puked on…

~Friday~  I had planned on driving to work again today, but since the city bus was due pretty much at the time I was ready, I went ahead and caught it in. The weather was a perfect 68° this morning. A lady to the left of me and up a row read a book that … Read more

To work, back, and to work again; the idiom police; a hellbent task completed; & melon criteria fail

~Wednesday~  I was ready for work with a lot of time before the next either city or university bus would arrive, so I decided to take a chance and drive to work. But when I got to the few spots relatively near my work that don’t have a two-hour limit to them, they were all … Read more

A quiet conversation with the air, a hellbent lost and found task, and not being a dog…

~Tuesday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, where after ten minutes of just standing there, the back of my shirt was wet with sweat. Can you say humid as f*ck again? And zero breeze. The bus arrived at 8:26, and not a moment too soon. I’ll give you a topic, “Neither Hot … Read more

Unclean but not in mind, designers who don’t use their products, and being my doppelganger…

~Monday~  I was ready to leave the house well before the next city bus, so I checked TVS for the current location of the Wolfline bus, which was in a place that I could get to the nearest stop just in time to catch. At the stop, I made a note that that sign I … Read more

A sticky credit card, a double workout, a disappunting ride to Durham, & a better Saturday night out

~Saturday~ I got up at around 10:30 this morning, and enjoyed a leisurely Saturday morning. I forgot to mention in yesterday’s entry about my stop by the grocery store to retrieve my credit card on the way downtown to Natty Greene’s. When I talked to them on the phone, they told me to just go … Read more

The unsure, wrong decision; waiting to rotate; just-in-time watermelon facts; & out-of-town dancers

~Wednesday~  I was awake before my alarm this morning and ready early enough to have a debate as to whether to potentially wait a bit longer for the sure thing (the Wolfline bus, which I could see on GPS) or possibly an earlier ride, but with a bigger schedule variation (the city bus). In the end, … Read more
