Pondering the Idea

I hate that buzzard alarm clock!

I went to work and managed to complete a very good sales day (considering I was off the phone part of the day while taking care of service committee functions like our sub-sandwich sales).

I telephoned Steph Redding for inspirational talk but she didn’t have any real big news. Her laryngitis is clearing up now.

I have not heard from Chad Mark Glen at all.
Chad had said, “I went to the gym last Thursday.”
I know he knew that I wouldn’t be there because of my Sushi night outing. I wonder if that’s why he made a point of going at that time. I have chosen to NOT call him either.

I was able to acquire a great new residential number for Leonard Perillo: 655-0555. The number is for his new Emeryville apartment.

I worked out at the gym for a good hour. I dropped by SAFEWAY and bought some of my favorite mineral-filled foods (sardines, yogurt, almonds, milk, bananas and apples). I watched DYNASTY and went straight to bed.

I’ve been pondering the idea of calling on George Jones once again. I located his work telephone number. I may give him a ring. I have not heard from him since last October 1985.

I found out about air-fare to Palm Springs, Hawaii and Florida. Palm Springs is only $78 round-trip from Oakland. It seems to be the cheapest bet.

I ordered some new bib bike shorts from Los Angeles from a sports connected catalog. I hope I like them.

Chris Cordellos will be cutting my hair tomorrow.

I’ve decided to call Amy Platt. I’m going to see about she and her nanny kid, Daniel, having lunch with me and my niece, Ashley, on Monday. Time will tell.
