Twenty-five years ago today:
November 9, 1985
Saturday
I was home in Alameda by 2:10AM. I went straight to bed.
When I woke up at 9:30AM I telephoned mom. Mom and Dad wanted to come over, so I obliged. Mom couldn’t help herself and did her usual ‘straightening-up’ of my pad.
I took my bicycle in to the shop. I also made another errand by returning a couple of VCR tapes I’d rented to the Video store. I filled up my car with gas, too.
I returned to my place for a while and then left for my drive to Sausalito. I had to pay $1.50 for parking, a .75 cents Oakland-Bay Bridge Toll and a $2.00 Toll for the Golden Gate Bridge (Total $4.25). And so it’s as if I actually paid for my freebie hamburger. Cathy was so busy at this joint that we barely were able to talk. The line of customers was never ending. Her break time wasn’t going to be until five o’clock. I left right after I had my burger.
I found myself at a local jewelry store and bought my mom two pairs of earrings. I delivered the earrings to her. She loved them.

Chad answered, “I could probably come over tonight after racquetball.”
“Well, I’ll be here.”
And so, I waited and waited and waited.
The phone rang at 10PM. Chad arrived and we watched a movie called “PARIS, TEXAS”. It was a slow-moving story about a man who wanders out of the desert not knowing who he is. His brother finds him, helping him to pull his memory back to the life he led before he walked out on his wife and son four years before. As his memory returns, he makes contact with various people from his past. It wasn’t all that great.
After the movie we went to bed…
"It was delightful to watch him. With his beautiful face, and his beautiful soul, he was a thing to wonder at. It was no matter how it all ended, or was destined to end."
-Oscar Wilde
