We Should Go...

“I don’t do it like everyone else…remember?”

Janette (one of the gals at my gym) is going to San Diego tomorrow to look for an apartment since she is planning to go to school down there.
“Be sure you give me your telephone number once you get settled in there,” I stated flirtatiously.
As I was telling her this I noticed a faint “hickie” on her neck. Alas, she’s only eighteen and that’s life at that age.
My work day was okay. I left the office at 1PM for a dentist appointment. All was good at the dentist’s office. I slept at mom’s house thereafter. Then I went to the gym, of course.

Terry, Stuart, Dave, Mark I, and Mark II were all there as well as a few OBV’s (Obviously gay ones) and QBL’s (Questionably gay ones). I have fun at my gym. I was on my Life Cycle for twenty-four minutes despite my agonizing toes.

I went to SAFEWAY and bought goodies for Leland’s pot luck lunch at the office.

I telephoned Mark Landreth.
I said, “You know, Mark, that girl at the gym and Anne, the aerobics instructor, may go to Bobby McGee’s on Saturday night. We should go and meet them there!”
“You think so?” He asked.
“Yeah, why not…I also have a date this Friday night with Sue,” I revealed.
“Oh,” Mark said with a sly little laugh.
I wasn’t sure if he was approving or disapproving.

“You have to take initiative in life.”
