Posted on November 14, 2018 by

Sleeps Like an Angel

Posted on November 5, 2018 by

While speaking to a friend today, she remarked that I find a lot of interesting characters on the bus. She takes the same bus but has neither seen the people I have written about nor has she witnessed similarly “inspiring” … Continue reading →

Posted on August 2, 2018 by

Today’s Perfect Moment was watching the sunset through the bus window. I had worked late….again, and while I didn’t feel the weight of the world on me, I did have a bit of melancholy. Work had gone well enough, but … Continue reading →

Rowdiness on the Bus

Posted on June 26, 2018 by

Today’s commute was nothing if not dramatic.  Somewhere in the last half, a fight broke out.  One gentleman wanted another sleepy gentleman to remove his bag because it was taking up a window seat.  I don’t think he was asking … Continue reading →

Posted on June 28, 2016 by

After a mediocre and rather long teaching day, I headed to Gears Bike Shop to pick up to pick up my package for the 2016 Epic Tour. If you recall, last year’s Epic Tour was a cold and rainy affair … Continue reading →

A Misnomer If There Ever Was One

Azure

Posted on January 4, 2016 by
