Overwhelmed

Michael would have preferred to be alone.  He was still avoiding people.

Twenty-five years ago today:

July 9, 1986
Wednesday

One major event of the day included saying goodbye to Margaret Lai (even though she’s not leaving the office until August 31st).

Barbara Reynolds called my direct line while Steph was listening-in and observing my client interactions. Oops.

I received a phone call from Johnny who was in Pismo Beach.

I went to the gym and Mark said, “Hey, I got your card.”
I guess that was his way of saying ‘Thanks’.
Mark asked, “Are you into taking the eight-thirty aerobics class?”
I shrugged as if I wasn’t sure. I ended up NOT taking the class. I worked out instead.
Rick was there and he said, “Hey Mike, I called you but your recorder said you were at a movie.”
Once again I shrugged. It was mid-week and I just wanted to work out.

Sue Croce did come over to The City and met me for lunch.  We ate at THE HAVEN.  It was short and as sweet as could be expected.

My GUCCI watch is still missing; however, I did see a new one at EMPORIUM that I like a lot.

I went to John and Sherri’s and took them the PEE WEE HERMAN Videotaped movie per their request.  After the delivery of the VHS tape I went home to bed.  Yawn.

"I wanted to see your town."
"...You've got to get out of it, Michael, before you are overwhelmed by mediocrity...and emotional leeches...who are draining you, sapping your vitality and destroying your talent."
