My one-year Anniversary at the gym is today.

I awoke with Chad beside me this morning.
Chad yawned, “I just remembered that I have to work from eleven until two at some radio station called KEAR on Hegenberger.”
“Oh no…well, I’ll just go for breakfast at my mom and dad’s house during that time. And after that I’ll go cycling.”

I returned home by 3PM which was just about the time that Chad arrived.  We pulled one of our intimate stairwell scenes.

We followed that with getting ready to go out to San Francisco to see a movie. We were going to see THE BOY IN BLUE, starring Nicholas Cage a film about an oarsman canoe racing feat.  It’s based on the life of Ned Hanlan, the late-19th century Canadian sculler and world champion.  Hanlan was one of the first scullers to successfully utilize the "sliding seat. It was an okay movie. We saw it at the GALAXY THEATERS.  I used my free tickets that I happened to win at work (for my ever rising sales results).  It would have normally cost me twelve dollars.

Chad and I thought of going to Ghirardelli Square, PIER 39, the Wharf or the Castro after the movie but we decided against it. Instead we went back to my house and cuddled as we watched excerpts of a flick that Chad had taped.

Chad said, “Oh you know what. I forgot to tell you that Denise Vinsonhaler called you earlier today.”
This reminded me about my earlier call from Mike Miller. Mike had expressed an interest in going to the movies with Chad and I. I didn’t invite him. Mike’s a cool guy. I’ll have to make it up to him. Sometimes he has an aloof, childlike nature that bugs me--in a good way.

Chad and I went to bed and slept rather well.  In the morning we did + + +.
