The weather is starting to look gloomy once again. I am supposed to be seeing Chad tonight. I just realized that at midnight it will be four months since we officially met.

Work passed. I didn’t see Chad after all. He was photo-assisting at an “Eddie and The Tide” concert at Centennial Hall in Hayward, CA.
“Why don’t you come to the concert?”
Chad urged me to attend but I didn’t. It was pouring down rain. I needed “TTM” (Time To Myself). I remained home and watched FALCON CREST. I also created a glossary of acronyms (if the letters are in quotes the word is actually pronounced versus saying the letters):
