~Tuesday~ I was up at 6:00 and downstairs shortly after breakfast started at 7:00. Everything was delicious that I had—scrambled eggs, hash brown potatoes, sausage, and bacon, but I sure did want some kind of bread, none of which was a part of the spread. I tried to “walk the talk” of taking advantage of … Read more
~Thursday~ I woke up at 6:00, and in a rare situation I was unable to fall back asleep. Since I had to catch the 4:00 bus home this afternoon, I got up and caught the 6:45 city bus in, which is pretty much unheard of—as you know, if you’ve been reading for any amount of … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up and at ’em at 7:00 this morning, and by 7:40 I was on the road to Durham to pick up Robert. We stopped at Biscuitville, where we nabbed three sausage biscuits and a cup of coffee, before heading out of town to Asheville. We arrived there between 11:30 and noon, and … 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
~Saturday~ I got up earlier than I anticipated, and as beautiful as that king size bed looked, its mattress was not as firm I prefer and my back was hurting a little. That, together with breathing through my mouth instead of my nose all night, which resulted in waking up once at 2:30, again at … Read more
~Thursday~ It was slightly rainy this morning, but I had my umbrella, although it was a little hard to manage with laptop bag, soft-sided briefcase, and two rolls of wrapping paper—which I forgot to take to work last night when Casey and I dropped by there with the other party stuff—in my hand. Today’s “theme” … Read more
~Sunday~ My alarm was set for 11:15. I woke up at 11:30. Good thing it wasn’t a work day, as it turned out it was set for 11:15 PM. I hate it when that happens. I attended “Glee Club” at Jen’s house at 2:00, and we watched the first three episodes after the Sectionals episode: … Read more
~Wednesday~ The 7:45 city bus was on the late side, arriving at about 7:58. Who’s keeping track? When it pulled up, I noticed that its front and center sign that alternately displays the route (#12 Method) and the direction (Inbound or Outbound) indicated outbound. However, when it gets to my stop, it is inbound. I’m … Read more
~Saturday~ I arrived at Donna’s (my ex-wife’s) at a little after 10:30, and after being let in by—and saying a quick hello to—her partner, Rob, I had three successive crying (on my part) hugs with Donna, her sister Carolyn, and then her brother Ed, saying how sorry I was for their loss. Shortly after, in … Read more
~Tuesday~ I got a little behind this morning in spite of getting up early, and by the time I’d made coffee and packed my lunch, I’d missed the 8:15 bus. I drove over to the Wolfline stop at Gorman St. and Kings Court, and got on the #9 Greek Village bus at a little after 8:30. … Read more
