Twenty five years ago today:

July 21, 1986
Monday

It was back to work. It was hard for me to walk. It was hard to sit and just plain 'get up' from my seat. I managed though.

Margaret returned to work but she's off to Louisiana to take Lance to see his paternal grandmother who is very ill. Al Martinez, Margaret Lai and I all joined together for lunch at B and M Chinese at 62 Second Street.

I didn't even bother going to the gym on this evening. I figured I'd given my body enough of a shock from yesterday's SF Marathon. I did telephone Mark to let him know I'd be a 'no show'.
"Okay, I'll bring your keys on Tuesday," Mark said.
I had forgotten that he had my keys.

I stayed home on Monday night and watched a program about young runaways. I felt my own life was pretty good after watching that true-life news story. I also watched a flick called "SENDER". It was about a man who could make people read his mind and think and feel what he was thinking or feeling. Sometimes he was able to do this without wanting to do it. I fell asleep watching it though. I never saw the very end of it.

Johnny Schaefer called me. He wanted to let me know that he'd received my message. I guess he's coming over to visit one weekend next month. We shall see.
