Nothing like sleeping in past the AM rush schedule for the busses. Then getting in a rush to get out the door just in time to see the 9:37 go by. Now I get to wait for the 10:17. There was aparently a bad schedule I read that led me to believe my bus ran … Read more

I’m exhausted at the cellular level. After 10 hours of work on the Big Top on saturday (trimmed out the windows on the doors, moved all the dead video games into Connie’s now vacant space, mounted three stools, and then… tore out the front of the building – brick, gigantic sheet glass, rotten wood, all … Read more
