Twenty-five years ago today:

May 29, 1986
Thursday

I woke up and went by my pool from 9AM until 11:30AM. Mike Miller came by…and then Greg. We had breakfast at the nearby Bakery Café together. The three of us took a walk in to Downtown Palm Springs after the nourishment. I bought a few T-Shirts and a beach towel and some of that QUORUM cologne that I like. I also found a neat shirt and a bathing suit from Saks 5th Avenue.

Greg was so obnoxious. I can’t stand being around him and knew I didn’t want to be during my stay here. Mike got a haircut and I had to wait around while it was getting cut…

I made it back to my home away from home in the hotel room. I tended to be in a quiet mood while with Greg and Mike. I went to sleep for a while. When I woke up I got myself ready to see Ron again at his bar station at the Desert Palms Inn. I told Mike and Greg that I had already made plans for a bite to eat with him. I took a taxicab.

Billy showed up at the Desert Palms Inn and introduced us to an older Long Beach dyke (lesbian). Billy drove us all to ROCKS. We saw Kevin driving off but he came in with the power of persuasion. Jimmy, the bartender, remembered me.

Ron and I played poker and I won 1,000,000 on the video machine. We then went to a place called CC CONSTRUCTION and I danced. We sent to the dyke section where I met, Marnie, a cute blond body-builder type. Ron was sweet to me all night.


Ron and Billy drove me home to my hotel.
Ron actually called my hotel room later.
Then ‘to my surprise’ Bobby called me and said, “I guess I just wanted to see if I could score with you somehow.”
Give me a break!
I said, “Well, I’m tired.”
I went to sleep.
