I Would Wander

Twenty five years ago today:

October 20, 1985
Sunday

I washed my car. I went to mom’s house for breakfast, too. It was a perfect Sunday for watching the 49er game.

I almost forgot to write about yesterday, October 19th. Suzy Miller, my niece, Ashley and I went to Ole’s Waffle Shop on Park Street for breakfast. That was really a fun outing.

After the 49er game (1PM) I went home to bathe and nap. It was a lazy Sunday. I was ready for relaxing on what was a very gloomy autumn, cloudy day. By 4PM I went to mom’s house again for dinner. I hung out there until close to nine o’clock. I got restless and simply went home.

My telephone rang at about 9:30PM. I thought it was Mr. Creepshow again from last night. As it turned out it was “Leonardo”.
“Hey Mike, I covered a lot of ground in a short-period of time.”
“Wow, that’s great,” I said as I’m sure my smiles could be felt via the communication wires.
“We’re ready to come back,” Leonard announced.
I knew Leonard would never admit to being homesick. I don’t think he would.
“Well, it will be good to have you back.”
“Yeah, well do you think you can give me a call tomorrow…day?”
“Sure, I will.”

MAD MAX was on television but I decided to hit the hay after watching the first ten minutes.

My brother, Tony, will be showing up at my office tomorrow. Hmmm…lucky him or shall I say not-so-lucky? Well, it is lucky for him to no longer be in Residence Marketing anymore.


For sometimes I could not sleep, and getting softly out of bed in the quiet night I would wander to the window, and lean there, my arms upon the sill, and the air would be very peaceful, very still.
