~Thursday~ I woke up at about 8:45 to day goodbye to av8rdude, who was meeting a friend for breakfast and then heading on to DC to visit another friend on his “2010 East Coast Christmas Tour.” I went back to sleep and got up at about 10:30. Glorious vacation. I waffled about going to the … Read more
~Wednesday~ Oh glorious vacation day! Kevin and I both slept in this morning and actually ended up downstairs in the kitchen, literally, within a minute of each other at around 10:15. Coffee was soon had by each of us, along with a slice of toasted and buttered Bolos Levedos, a half a banana, and a … Read more
~Tuesday~ It was nice to wake up to electricity this morning. I had my alarm set for 10:00, but I woke up at 8:30 and in a rare occurrence I was unable to fall back asleep. I got up and got started on things that needed to be done before my house guest arrived, the … Read more
~Wednesday~ I arrived at the bus stop at 7:48, and it hadn’t come by 8:00, so I drove down the street to catch the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Kaplan and Gorman. In that short drive, I heard on a morning radio show that a couple just had their third baby on 10-10-10. What … Read more
~Thursday~ Joe picked me up at 7:00 this morning and took me to his doctor’s office, where I was to have a “Fun-with-people-coming-out-of-anesthesia Day.” The waiting room had free wi-fi in it, so I actually got some work done, mostly [still] refining my presentation for 1:00 today. Several people—around four of them—came in after Joe, … Read more
~Wednesday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 7:47, and by 8:00 the bus hadn’t yet come. A young black kid and that Asian man I mentioned yesterday were waiting as well. At about 7:55, the Asian Man pounded madly on his back for about a minute, and then took off sprinting down the … Read more
~Tuesday~ As I was walking up to the city bus stop, a student (at least he was young and wore a backpack) walked past me, presumably walking down to the Wolfline stop at Gorman and Kaplan. I had to resist saying, “Excuse me. Are you a student? ‘Cause if you are, you can just catch … Read more
~Monday~ I got to the stop for the 7:45 bus at 7:49, which is really pushing it, but I knew I hadn’t missed the bus because there were two other people waiting there for it. They both boarded before me, and the second guy was a “piggy banker,” so once he emptied his pocket of … Read more
~Sunday~ We had a leisurely morning. Casey did some laundry and a little volunteer work for Distributed Proofreading, which is “an organization that provides a web-based method to ease the conversion of Public Domain books into e-books.” I worked on catching up a few days of my blog, with it taking an inordinate amount of … Read more
~Saturday~ When I got down to my kitchen, there was a sticky note on my thermostat from Casey that he’d just left to go for a run. This inspired me to run to the gym right after a quick breakfast. I did a 40-minute cardio workout on the elliptical machine, for a 711-calorie burn. There … Read more
