This post is for the benefit of myself, and for those potential stalkers of mine (ha ha ha). These are my plans for the day. It looks like I will have a very busy day.

--Noon to 1 p.m.: Attend the We Are All Traffic rally at the Waterfront Park. As a very responsible and concerned law-abiding cyclist/driver/pedestrian, issues of traffic safety and ( Read more... )

Listening to classic Scritti Politti songs brings a smile to my face. There is definitely time and place for seductive pop songs by artists who use big, highbrow words.

Today's plans include having breakfast with katiekatiepants and crew, attending the first flag football practice (the first game is tomorrow), picking up a Flexcar for the evening, shopping for ( Read more... )

Holy pescetarian cow. The long weekend went by rather quickly! It seems like I should have so much to catch up on, but in reality, the long weekend was mellow and leisurely. And now I am struggling to get back into the flow of the (abbreviated) Working Week. Ugh ( Read more... )

Hmmm. I am still in search for some fun company this upcoming Friday night. I have reserved a Mini Cooper convertible Flexcar, and no real plans. I may have to go kidnap someone for a fun outing!

My vacation begins next Friday evening. I am out of the office until Monday, August 17th. I am only away for couple of weeks, but I had no idea that the senior manager has been scrambling like crazy to assign my various duties to other analysts during my absence. I suppose I hardly ever think about many hats that I wear during course of a Working ( Read more... )

Yikes. Network issues at work forced me to work longer than expected. I will be thankful when I receive the next paycheck. I am extremely grateful that I can take the wonderful mass transit to my dinner gathering tonight. I am also grateful for free Flexcar hours (between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.) for monthly plan members--I will be flexcar-ing later ( Read more... )

Tonight shall be a low-key Friday night. I shall be spending the hot evening in the comforting confines of the March Wellness fitness center. Now that the Night Ride event is in my rear-view mirror, I am keeping myself in shape for the Portland Century (50-mile) ride, which is only six weeks away. I was able to cruise through the Night Ride last ( Read more... )

Holy wow. In the past two weeks, Flexcar added two new car locations that are three blocks away from my apartment, on either side of SE Stark! Currently, the minivan on SE 12th and Stark is a $5 per hour vehicle (I have reserved the minivan for the summer solstice gathering out in the 'burbs this weekend....). And the Flexcar which used to be on SE ( Read more... )

The weekend was quite busy and eventful. Out-of-town visitor, beer pub crawl, yummy dinner and brunch, and happy, fun, grocery shopping for tomorrow evening's dinner with gorthx filled my weekend. Oh, I worked out earlier tonight too. Despite eating out a lot over the weekend, I gained just 0.2 pounds. That is good, I suppose ( Read more... )

As a member of the monthly Flexcar plan, the usual hourly rate for reserving a Flexcar generally costs me between $8.50 to $10.50 per hour, depending on time of the week, the model of the vehicle being reserved, and the demand level of the Flexcar location (members who are on monthly plans also get the late evening/early morning hours free). But as ( Read more... )
