~Sunday~ I was up at about 11:00 and enjoyed this week’s PostSecrets over coffee, breakfast, and country gospel on the iPod. I didn’t find any particular secret overly compelling this week, but I suppose this one stands out, because I am always, always, always amazed when someone actually believes they can hide the fact that … Read more
~Sunday~ After eight hours of glorious sleep, I was up for my regular Sunday morning routine, which I articulated in a Facebook status update: “PostSecrets read. Country gospel on the iPod shuffle. And bourbon-pecan coffee in my cup. #MustBeSundayMorning.” I especially liked two secrets today, the first one because it’s clever, and the second one … Read more
~Friday~ I parked on Gorman Street, crossed the street, and got on the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus pulling up. The bus was sparse for a change, which was good, but we got behind a school bus, which wasn’t good, making it a slow ride in. Some might argue that ours is a school bus, … Read more
~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
~Sunday~ Since I stayed in last night and was in the bed fairly early, I was up early after eight hours of sleep. It was Sunday morning, so you know what that meant. I really liked this particular PostSecrets entry of this week’s lot, as it reminded me of my friend Steve. I traveled with … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus with Hello Outdoorsy Driver at the helm. Sitting in my vicinity was a white guy in a wheelchair, a black guy sleeping, and a black lady two seats in front of me with a serious updo. A little bit down the road, the wheelchair guy’s phone rang: “I’VE BEEN … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in long enough to get eight hours sleep. Yay for Sundays, and morning routines: Coffee with breakfast, country gospel music, and a gander through this week’s PostSecrets. At around 4:00, I took about a two-mile walk, over to the Food Lion and back. I didn’t buy anything while I was there; I … Read more
~Sunday~ I went to Jen’s at 1:00 for “Glee Club,” where we first reviewed the Wikipedia entries for the next three episodes picking up from where we left off last. The reason we only reviewed these instead of watching them was because I’d already seen them a while back, when I first watched the Laryngitis … Read more
~Friday~ I walked up to the bus stop and onto the bus. Get out of my dreams, get into my car. It was the 8:15 bus, and a chubby white guy was driving, but there was no air circulating and it was somewhere between bake and broil in that Jenn-Air oven. I checked out two … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at a decent hour, since I stayed in last night and got to bed at a decent hour. What a concept. I spent a couple hours beginning the process of cleaning up the clutter in my house in anticipation of two house guests I have coming—at different times—over the next couple … Read more
