First Forty

Today we started to set-up the things for the foods (on Friday for the dinner).

Yumi goes to San Francisco with Ted to watch Chinese New Year celebrations; have brunch with Chad, Denise, and Chel; Chad and I play soccer up on East Field; Samba Ngo at Kuumbwa; nice coming home to a quiet house.

Andy drops by to borrow "China Men"; catches me in my pajamas; racked by anxiety over the situation with Meggin; couldn't get anything done.

Taking classes through UCLA Extension; drop "Music" after one meeting, but stay with "History of the West" right up until the end; harangued about inferior vitamins at drug store on Larchmont.

Stay up all night with John watching Scarface; go to meeting the following morning at Stu's; rake leaves all that day; Dan B. stops by before leaving for Georgia; we talk and watch the tape of Comic Relief.

Today we went to Grandma's house and had a wonderful party.

Harvey Wainapel show at Kuumbwa; Yumi comes to hang out with me; Chad and Denise drop by and we go play darts at the Poet with Chel; I sink a double-bull to win the game.

Basketball driving me crazy; read, run; bottle of Stoli cuts into my food budget; Celtic rock band at Live Soup; cut on over to Red Room, dance to DJ cuts; drinking vodka that I keep in my socks; what a cheap bastard...

Jason is in L.A., staying with Joe; he comes to the job in Beverly Hills and Joe has us doing batting practice on the new ball fields; buy new glove, but it’s a bit snug.

Drive John to Goodyear; Todd cuts off his mohawk; he's being more himself than ever; "flame off" at work in order to complete my scripting requirements; pick up Dad at O'Hare and drive to see the Sting play Dallas (they lost).
