Apology Accepted

We are becoming cyborgs. Soon we'll routinely put computers inside our bodies and brains.
By the 2030's we'll become more non-biological than biological.

Well…Steve Green telephoned me at work today to apologize. Oh well…
“Apology accepted,” I said.
I realize he was pretty rude to me last night after I politely suggested he relax. I have to let bygones be gone.

I telephoned Mark Landreth at around 4:45PM (while at work) and confirmed that he’d be at the gym at around 7:30PM. Unfortunately, he wasn’t there at that time. Oh well…

I saw David (Mark’s old time schoolmate). I also saw Joyce.
Joyce said, “Hi, how are you?”
“Good and you?”
“Well, summer is coming so I have to work out.”
Joyce even said, “Goodbye” after her workout while I was riding the Lifecycle.
I thought, “Uh 0h…I want to invite her to my Birthday party.”

After the gym I went to Alpha Beta and I ran into Julie. I recognized her from the gym.
Julie said, “Hi…how are you?”
“Good and you?”
“Well, I’m moving to Santa Cruz in a month.”
“I’m having a Birthday party…you should come.”
“Thanks for the invite…I may likely come,” Julie said.
“I’m glad,” I said with a smile.

Work as ‘so-so’ today. Margaret and I ate at McDonald’s.

Laverne gave Margaret her 1PM time slot for lunch on the condition that I wear my golden leather shirt. I laughed at that one. So I plan on wearing it to work tomorrow.

I purchased a new shampoo while at Alpha Beta. Julie ended up buying the same brand. I still haven’t got my haircut yet. Chris Cordellos was supposed to cut it last night.

I bought drinks and other things for my party while at Alpha Beta. It will be a night to remember. I’m getting more and more excited about it.

Steve called me from Ric Green’s house. I promised Steve I would leave tomorrow night open. I just may go to MacArthur Park for a change of scenery. Ric seems a bit two-faced. He will tell me one thing and agree with me and then talk to Steve and agree with him. In other words, he won’t take one side over the other. It’s sort of like Mary McTiernan. This leads me to believe that Ric is a pretty nice person. He wants to be neutral. Well, he is a Libra like two of my ‘best-est’ friends (Helen Wong-Armijo and Suzy Miller).


I went to bed by 10:30PM. Steve Green telephoned me at around midnight. I was out of it but we talked for a bit.


My party is going to be FUN!
