Stuart Western

-Thomas Mann
The Will To Happiness, 1896

Twenty-five years ago today:

July 10, 1986
Thursday

Yesterday (and once again today) I ran into a new friend. It’s more than a coincidence to see a person twice over two days isn’t it?  His name is Stuart Western.  He lives near 164th Avenue (near Castro Valley).  He’s into construction.  No, he’s not the QBL Construction worker I saw recently.  Stuart goes to my gym.  He’s a nice guy.  He works out at the gym regularly and he’s in good shape.

Mark Landreth is into doing aerobics a lot lately.
His kid brother, Phil, said, “Hey Mike, you’re getting big.”
He meant it in a ‘big and muscular’ way but I am unsure whether or not he was kidding. With him it’s hard to tell. He smiles a lot and I don’t know if he’s joking or not.


It’s not-so-funny about that character that plays Tony Driscoll (actor Paul Keenan) on the TV series DYNASTY. He used to be on the daytime soap DAYS OF OUR LIVES and it seems he now has AIDS. I wonder. It’s a scary disease that has crept up on us in the 1980s.

I went to mom’s house and ‘munched out’. I didn’t bother to go bicycling. I took a nap and then went to the gym.


I watched a little bit of “The Young and the Restless” with mom. Then I headed home.


My niece, Ashley, loves going to the park. I ought to take her more often. Maybe this Sunday will be the day. I know I can take her ‘for sure’ on Wednesday, July 23rd after my dentist appointment. It’s on my calendar.

During the 1950s Berge had got himself on to the inside track of the homosexual literary scene, first as fan, then as friend to Jean Cocteau and Jean Giono. Together they made for a seductive duo.
