I wasn’t gonna do this today, but now I have to. On the bus with me today: - A guy with a rag under his hat that hangs down over his ears and neck. Today is the only cloudy day in the last two weeks and it is 15 degrees cooler than usual. But this guy looks like he is in the middle of a sun-baked camel ride across the Sahara. - A lady who apparently asked the bus . . . → Read More: On the bus: Friday morn After an extended break, I bmolyneux, have recommitted to blogging. After discussion with lmolyneux, we have decided to repurpose the blog, shifting our focus from pure hilarity and awesomeness to center around our mutual struggle in our concurrent doctoral programs (mingled with hilarity and awesomeness). This will take a bit of effort on my part because as we speak my fingers yearn for comedy to burst from their tips, habit I guess. But for me (us) any writing is good . . . → Read More: Aaaaand we’re back! On the bus with me today: - A guy who has a nervous tick where he has to be tapping his fingers on his lips all the time. He tries to put his hand down in his lap but it pops back up there and his fingers start wiggling under his nose. Maybe he was a smoker and is trying to quit but the body has this hand-mouth connection it can’t let go of. His glasses hang around his neck . . . → Read More: On the bus: Friday a.m. It has come to my attention, through conversations with my colleagues and my own observations, that the girls here like to wear running shorts.

H1: female students at the University of Texas exhibit a disproportionate preference for running shorts. Methods: Each morning . . . → Read More: My first research project On the bus with me today: - A guy with a mole the size of a gumdrop above his lip. It was just like the guy in one of the Austin Powers films, can’t remember which, except I didn’t see this guy’s mole move at all. Guaca-MOLE-y. - There is always someone who is so wide they take up two seats. Today it is a woman using a pink Sony e-reader. - The guy across the aisle from . . . → Read More: On the bus: Wednesday a.m. On the bus with me today: - A tall skinny guy with a real bony walk who is either a vigorous painter or has rabies. He walked in with this white mess dribbled down his chin and I only realized it could be paint when I saw other paint splatters on his arm. - A guy with brown skin wearing a brown shirt and brown shorts. The only reason I know he was dressed at all is I could . . . → Read More: On the bus: Friday noon Recently published in the New York Times, an article titled “The Weirdness of Walking to Raise Money.” Author Ted Gup begins by saying he saw thousands of people participating in Boston’s Walk for Hunger. What I saw that morning in Boston was a resource diverted from its true purpose. Imagine those 210,000 man-hours (42,000 times a five-hour walk) put into direct service to benefit the poor. Think of the houses that might be built, roofs repaired, gardens planted and harvested, . . . → Read More: I am not the only one A 5K has to be one of the worst things ever invented. Disclosure: I am on this kick because it is 5K season and I have to edit about a story a day involving someone’s 5K fundraiser. But here’s the organizing principle, as I understand it. You come, pay some money, maybe get a t-shirt, maybe get some Gatorade, and then run. The first problem: Running is not a privilege (unless of course you have some medical condition, in which . . . → Read More: Come participate in my 5K In my inbox today: Dear Sir.Since accept order ribbons via e-mail.
