Tuesday
After work I went home and my brother, John, came over. Then Tony arrived and we went to a photo studio in San Leandro to take our portrait together. I think my hair was too perfect so it may not come out very well. We’ll see in thirteen days.
There’s a new song called TARZAN BOY. It reminds me of Chad:

Lorraine Garcia called me at work today. She’s coming to the Bay Area (from Santa Rosa) this weekend and wants to make me lunch on Saturday. She’s so assertive. It will be a tough one, considering I want to go bicycling with Chad and perhaps ‘plus + plus’.
After John, Tony and I took the portrait we returned to my house. They both left fairly soon after.
I telephoned Chad. He received the first card I’d ever sent him. He was overjoyed.
“That card really made my day,” Chad said.
“I’m glad.”
So, of course, I sent him three postcards after our conversation. Ha-ha. I’d best not make it too habit forming.
He compliments me often about my hair and says, “You’re so photogenic!”
He makes me feel good sometimes. I do recall some of his sarcasm but I kind of like it. While I was speaking to Chad I simultaneously received a phone call from Leonard.
“Is it okay if I’ll call you later?” I asked Leonard.
“Okay,” Leonard replied.
“It was Leonard…but I told him I’d call him later,” I explained to Chad.
“That’s coincidental that he would call while we are talking,” Chad said.
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“Well, tell him hello from me when you talk to him.”
I thought that was odd and changed the subject, suggesting a bike outing over the weekend since both of my bikes will be fixed by then.
We ended our conversation with me saying, “I’ll see you at the gym tomorrow night.”
When I returned Leonard’s call he did not answer his phone. I tried again and this time he answered. I didn’t understand his logic as he explained that he’d been sleeping.
“Well, you know Lorraine?” I asked.
“Yes, what of her?”
“Nothing…but she called and wanted to do lunch. I also met a friend of yours.”
“Oh, who would that be?”
“His name is Chad.”
“Oh, I see. Tell me all of the details of what he talked about.”
I didn’t really say too much. I wondered what the true story was between Leonard and Chad. Was there more to it?
I remember telling Chad how being at the gym was distracting for me (when Chad was there at the same time as me).
“I can relate to that,” Chad replied.
I thought it funny that he felt the same way. I wonder what predicament I will feel when I see Rachelle, Chad and Leonard all-in-one-evening at the gym. Oh, I’ll just do my work out and play it by ear.
Chad really wants to read my journals but I’m leery about it all. It’s scary. I mean it’s just a real scary thing to do! He’ll learn about a couple of non-truths that I’d told him regarding Chris Cordellos and Leonard, too. Time will tell. I’ll consider letting him read them another time. Why not? He would then know me TOO WELL. Perhaps it would be better.
I received a packet in my incoming mail from Shirley Hastings. I recalled asking her to lunch months ago when she was in my office. She shunned the offer politely. I wonder if she’s trying to ‘swoop on me’ now.
Leonard wants to get-together soon. He wrote my work number for those times that he may be in San Francisco. We may possibly meet up for lunch.
I love honey, toast and milk for breakfast lately. My favorite honey, though, is ‘CMG’.
