Homoerotic hand placement, whole lives ahead, organizational dysfunction, and BS complaints…

~Tuesday~  I wanted to get in earlier than I would have had I waited for the 8:15 city bus, so I took the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus. Note to future self: Do not take buses that have any chance of getting students to campus on the hour. I got on at the second stop … Read more

Saving dead relatives, hours of minutes, a lunk of a man, cake-baking, and blog-writing…

~Sunday~  I slept in this morning. Oh glorious Sunday. I didn’t have any bread, which is a real bummer to me when it comes to breakfast. I made a ham-onion-cheddar omelet, and suffered through it without toast. This entry from today’s PostSecrets made me think of the three voicemail messages I have saved of my … Read more

Rabbit gloves, dressing to the right, a SIGDOC gathering, what lying feels like, & some minutes…

~Thursday~  I was running very late this morning, and I parked on Gorman near Avent Ferry to catch the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, which came at around 8:45. An Asian girl was at the stop and she had on black, knitted gloves that had white rabbit faces raised on the back side of the … Read more

Manbites Dog’s 25th Anniversary Planning Gathering & Mostly Social Book Club…

~Sunday~  From 2:00-4:00 I attended, and documented, our Manbites Dog 25th Anniversary Planning Gathering, at the home of Michael Hayes and his wife Mig, in Durham. It was a very productive meeting of long-time supporters, new business neighbors (including TJ, the owner of Kings Sandwich Shop next door to the theater) and past and present … Read more

Si si, veritable ashtrays, garbled connections, sleep trumps a workout, and kisses for Lindsay…

~Thursday~  I was able to quickly pack up my breakfast and lunch today, as I’d done a little “prep” work last night, namely peeling, removing the yolk from, and slicing my hard-boiled egg, separating out a weighed portion of ham, and setting the coffee pot to start brewing at 8:00. I’m not really avoiding the … Read more

A productive board meeting, snow, a strong back & a Neanderthal@the gym, and a toilet fly drowns…

~Saturday~  I was up at around 9:00, and off to Durham at 11:30 for our December Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors meeting from 12:00 – 1:30. We had a productive meeting, and things are looking a little better financially for the theater, so that’s a nice boost of spirits. I was going to meet … Read more

My car gone missing, too much personal business on the bus, an $8K hold, and “I VOTED”…

~Tuesday, Election Day~  I had my alarm set for 7:00, with the intention of running up the street to vote and being back to catch the 8:15 bus. I tossed and turned not wanting to get up, running through various scenarios of voting during lunch or after work. Since I didn’t feel like getting up, … Read more

A sick day, a comment by a wife about my sleeping with her husband, and Pro Se stories…

~Monday~  I took a sick day today, and slept until just after noon. I spent a lot of time in the bathroom today. ‘Nuff said. In the world of social media, two things of interest—one an affirmation: I have removed the “Interested in: Men” indicator in my Facebook profile, because when it’s checked, almost all … Read more

Breakfast at the Farmers’ Market, some volunteer work, dinner at The Borough, and some Scareyoke…

~Sunday~  I was up at 10:30, and had SSSed by the time Robert arrived at about 11:15. We had a late breakfast at the Farmers’ Market Restaurant, where we—once again—had to wait just a little too long for our food. Fortunately for them, their French Toast is so absolutely delicious, that at least once it … Read more
