First Forty

Still cloudy and drizzling; talk to Meggin twice; she is really depressed in Boston; need to go shopping; broccoli bits; California Indian poetry; Casey frustrated by people; the GPs are leaving him their house.

Missed math class again; Mom and Dad having another big discussion with Todd; letter from Beth finally comes!; she still wants to be friends.

I bought my ticket to the square-dance and I had gotten a brand new tux.

Had dinner with Rama and John at Fox Valley. Somehow we manage to get together every two or three years. I wonder when we’ll next meet.

Lisa has an allergic reaction so she goes to health center; contact Yuka about Yumi’s birthday; “perpetual motion” gizmo for Bob; see Michael Cowan at Avanti; haircut in Santa Clara at Traci’s; looks at suits for JET interview; dinner and TV at the Krakowskis'.

We watched some of Toby’s movie’s on Africa and we saw lots of animals I had never seen before.

More bike shops in Chicago with Grant; I still want a girlfriend; still no letter from Beth; Grant’s car quest; employee meeting with John at Cattle Company; drop by to see Grant at Pauls’; he’s impossible to deal with lately; Mom and Dad yelling at Todd; want to do more with him; Mom thinking about her travel career; could I teach and then lead tours in the summer?

Set up for Patti’s show at the library; get hair cut short; Amy, Linda, and the boys come, but Mom, Tom, Kate, and Todd do not; “dripping door” still not working properly.

Write cards; still raining; teachers a bit more lively; see girl from Africa class; Case calls with a dilemma; Meggin and Mom both call; want to be more like Whitman; program drums.

Yumi and Grace off to San Diego and Mexico; last "Bobs" show at Kuumbwa; musing over the fact that I'll be leaving the Kuumbwa soon; get a pay-raise bump from $6 to $8 an hour.
