After late sleep drove off in the rain to work out at the on-base gym, just as
I arrived I realized I'd forgotten my gym bag! There & back again, this time
leaving the sauna newspapers in the car! This made for a rainy jog out to the
car, sweat-soaked in the cold, which reminded me of Aquatic School at Goshen
in August 1967. What a long ago deal that was. Attempted chatter & play with
someone's 9-year-old daughter (Kristin) while doing sit-ups; woulda liked to
spend more time at that but her Dad moved in to intervene.
Spoke with brother J briefly for birthday wishes, he was on his way out
but we had a sumo discussion where I described the wonderful smell of
that wrestler <1> standing
bus-waiting that time out front of the Shinagawa Prince hotel in Tokyo - his wonderful
baking-pumpkin-pie nutmeg aroma.
Then off to Palo Alto, first for tasty chicken taco at the Pollo Rey thence
to the cinema for "Afterglow". Good, however possible interaction with the solo blonde
who sat down next to me was inhibited by shyness - but my tentative comment during
the film WAS ignored. After brief pause for carrot juicing, more Sir Winston
reading at Tung Kee noodle - #3 was especially good today. Do I eat there daily now?
Back home to find
more trouble with the Monorail PC - yesterday Paintbrush
disappeared; today Wordpad! What's going on? Troubles may have started
when I ran Tweak UI & Add/Remove on Internet Mail yesterday AM... may try
archiving all useful files to floppy & reloading from CD-ROM - this purge
could be a Good Thing, or perhaps just a disaster.
Began transferring
home-page files to the other server. Thinking about the form the GeoCities page will take, when
this Journal activity moves there.
Odd, vague
sore-throat pain began, lower down on right side only.
Copied "Bad Moon Rising" and Jean Siberry's "Waitress" song
onto the fourth Running tape. Amused reflection on how the former was a theme song in that on-line
survivalist Triple Ought book by James Wesley, Rawles. These tapes contain songs who's tempo
matches my treadmill-running speed exactly,
