Wednesday

I guess I'm back home. I used the Underwood again tonight for the first time in at least a year. Needs a ribbon, and probably some lubrication. Speaking of that, I need to buy rubbers for a friend. My buddy Bryan is afraid he's losing his job, and with it his lifeline. At the same time I'm starting up a job. Its really rather perplexing and saddening. Oh and Dad comes back tomorrow, goodbye vacation.

Friday

My how the time goes. Alright lets get this going. I'm almost through my 78 collection weeding out recordings. It really, really gets tedious after a while.
We have lost so many people this year. Julia Child died yesterday---and she had a voice. Fay Wray went Sunday. Rick James last week. Imagine no "I'm Rick James bitch!"? Horrible. And then Ray Charles just after Reagan.

I went to REI today, and it seems they don't know quite when I'll be hired. This should be interesting. So much to do, and as always I haven't gotten any of it done yet. Oh well. Phonograph show tomorrow. EEk.
