Odd-y-ssey: Day 10 (The Last Day)

Friday, October 30th, 2009

My trip back east ended not with a bang, but a whimper. I began my day with a 3-mile run, then fixed myself a rather large breakfast (two-egg omelet with the yummy habanero Vermont cheddar, a half a plain bagel and a whole wheat bagel). I was slow to shower and dress myself, but once [...]

Odd-y-ssey: Day 9

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Thursday. The trip is drawing to a close. An early morning appointment forced me out of bed before I would have liked, but a neurotic piece of shit like me would gladly surrender an hour or two of sleep for a relatively clean bill of health. I had a bagel for breakfast. That makes, like, [...]

Odd-y-ssey: Day 8

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Wegmans. I finally go to Wegmans today. I rose from slumber relatively early, went for a run at the gym in my mother’s condo development, and then she and I drove through the rain to Woodbridge for some sweet, sweet Wegmans. I had the 7″ buffalo chicken finger sandwich combo, and she got some other [...]

Odd-y-ssey: Day 7

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Today was a lazy day. I had a bagel and watched about six hours of television before my mother and sister bothered to check-in on me. I had two hilarious conversations — with Z and Ken — where they filled in my blank spots in timeline of what happened last night.
At some point, after a [...]

Odd-y-ssey: Day 6

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Oof. Last night. Wow. I’m definitely not feeling it today. Who would have thought an otherwise boring day (lunch with sister, a trip to the mall with mom) would turn out so completely insane.
My sister suggested we go to a sports bar for Monday Night Football. I invited along Ken, Katie and Z. Elissa invited [...]

Odd-y-ssey: Day 5

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

No sleep. It was so fucking cold on Ian’s couch. I think at 6am I had to turn his air conditioner up from 60 to 66 degrees. At 7 or 8am I had to turn it up from 66 degrees to 70 degrees. At 9, when Ian woke up to take his dog for a [...]

Odd-y-ssey: Day 4

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

Rare records and apple juice — a man in heaven.
I woke up on time this morning! 8:30am, for chrissake. My commitment to this job-away-from-work is amazing! I showered, ate a fiber-enriched health breakfast treat my mom thought I would like, then left for the record fair. I picked up Ian and Jon outside of their [...]
