Turquoise Tights

Wednesday

It is “DYNASTY” night but the only thing is that I intend on going to the gym.

There are six more days until Leonard returns.

I wonder if Karen Melton has returned from her ‘Ice-Capades’ Korean excursion. I ought to call Paradise Productions in New York or (at least) look her up in the Livermore-Pleasanton telephone directory.

I have some stupid SALES Continuation Training class set for the next three days that will be conducted by our ‘dipshit’ second line manager, Larry Elkington.

The class given by Larry was really kind of dull. It is really a basic review of general sales skills. It’s like ‘give me a break’.

At lunch Margaret Lai accompanied me to eat at the corner restaurant at 2nd and Howard Streets. She’s griping again about Stephanie (oops, I mean she’s griping about Cindy Chow, of course).

After work I went straight home and read a very neat letter from Paloma. It made me feel good.

Then I got set and went to the gym. I saw Rachelle there. She was in line for an aerobics class. Her hair didn’t look too good.
“I’ve been coming to the gym almost daily.”
“That’s great,” I said, but we didn’t really say a lot to one another.
“I’ve been running,” Rachelle said.

As I was working out Russ came in and we talked for a while. He hasn’t asked if my place is still available for rent or anything. I figured I informed him once. There’s no point in pushing it. I like Russ.
Russ commented, “Hey, you’re sweating a lot.”
“Yeah, that LifeCycle does it to me every time.”
“I’m going to do my usual aerobics class,” he said.
I thought his turquoise blue tights were quite tight. I don’t think he had underwear because you could see his crack and contour. I don’t think I’d ever wear them.

I’ve been trying to call that stupid Video Concepts place but I have had no luck yet.

I want to get Leonard something for his birthday which falls on October 29th. I am just not sure what to get him.

After the gym I arrived home and found myself speaking to my sister-in-law, Helen, for a while.
“We’re going to name the baby Lauren Michael.”
Tony was not at home but he had called me about the ice-cream deal I had inquired about. He was going to sell me a tub of Bud’s Ice-Cream for thirty-six dollars (when I can actually get six and a half gallons of DREYER’s ice-cream for only twenty-four dollars). I don’t think I’ll be buying Bud’s because we’re out to make a quick profit right now (for our Business Office). It wouldn’t be cost-effective to go with the Bud’s (to tell the truth).

It's never too late to recapture who you were or aim to who you want to be.
