My Own Orbit

Posted on 07:35 by Unknown
"He seems to think you're a genius."
-LOVE IN THOUGHTS
2004 German film

Twenty-five years ago today:

June 15, 1986
Sunday

Ron and I woke up and I decided to give him a tour of the Berkeley vicinity. We ended up walking here and there (via University Avenue, Telegraph Avenue and around parts of the UC Berkeley Campus). We left and ended up eating at the Ice-Cream Dock in Alameda. From there I drove out to Walnut Creek to give him a taste of Contra Costa County. I chose to take the Alamo Exit and drove through San Ramon and Castro Valley to Lake Chabot where we ended up renting a boat.

We bought cheese, fruit and a few non-alcoholic beverages to take with us on the row boat. It was quite relaxing. We had supreme weather on the Lake.

We returned to my house and got ready for an outing in to The City. We were both full from the cheese, so dinner was not a concern. I drove in to San Francisco and in through Geary Street. We had a few too many cocktails at the Mad Hatter bar. The bartender, Dave, was pretty cool. He gave us a free drink. He liked our personalities.

We went to the CORONET THEATER and saw a film called SPACE CAMP, starring Kate Capshaw. It was about these space-trained attendees of a space camp who find themselves in space for real when their space shuttle is accidentally launched into orbit. I was so drunk watching the flick that I was in my own orbit. I had four vodka cranberries and I drank them much too quickly.


I had some coffee and Danish before I went home. Ron was nervous about my condition. I think I was staggering a little bit.
I liked when Ron said, “We need to get you some coffee and Danish.”


We made it home and ‘conked out’.
