THE LIFE OF PI

Twenty-five years ago today:

June 24, 1986
Tuesday

I telephoned Ron from work. We made arrangements to leave on August 16th from San Francisco Airport to Denver and then on to New York. The return flight would be on August 23rd. It will be a full-week in New York. That’ll be fun. I know it. I can’t wait! We were able to get $99 flights (a total of $198). That’s quite a deal on UNITED AIRLINES.

I telephone Carol McClain, the Placement Manager at Pac Bell Directory.
Carol said, “You may have to take a typing test if it comes to you being offered the Staff position.”
I thought, “That’ll be a good sign if I am job offered.”
I actually said to Carol, “I’m crossing my fingers and toes.”

I went biking after work. It was a good ride. I was going to go to the gym but I stopped at mom’s house. I decided to stay with her for a while. I watched half of MOONLIGHTING, a TV show starring Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis with mom.

When I returned home and I went to bed.

I remembered that Johnny Schaefer is coming to visit this weekend. It’ll be okay. He’s nice…but…
I am always leery. So we shall see.

He enjoyed infinite possibilities, creating balance and coherence, contentment.
