My bus work-outs are becoming easier. I can almost make the entire trip now without hanging on. For those of you just tuning in let me explain. My balance is terrible, or, so I discovered while riding the bus this month. (It finally made economic sense to buy a bus pass this month instead of…

This is how I see it. You’re a jerk. A jerk in every aspect. Why would she stay with that jerk?

Bounce, bounce, bounce, spin. Energy. An amazing little gizmo you are! Smiles. Laughs. All the while: bounce, bounce, bounce, spin.

Beauty was hard to spot this morning. She didn’t expose her beauty until the end of the trip. “Farewell, and have a great day,” the anonymous commuter saluted the bus driver on the way off.

Shoes. So many different variations. Is it possible to know a person’s story by interpreting their footwear? Bright red sneakers. $100. “Wow, I saved $6 when I was six to buy a pair just like those.”

The beauty today had nothing to do with my co-commuters. I saw beauty today in the gentle west coast that fell softly against the windows. Streaking sideways as we streaked along the highway. Sliding vertically when forced to stop. The life cycle of a raindrop. What a trip? What a trip.

Strange opening act, Clara Venice, she was amazing all by herself. The Ladies of the Canyon – who rocked the place. When the ‘boys’…
