Nostalgic and Comforting

I put a white candle on the table to clear bad influences, and its scent is nostalgic, comforting.

September 28, 1986
Sunday

I went to ma and pa's house for breakfast.  I watched most of the San Francisco 49er vs. Miami Dolphins football game while I was there.

Once I was back at my pad I lounged, JO'd, slept, watched a little TV and did some reading.

Johnny called from Los Angeles. I felt free to tell him of my "L.A. Predicament" and whether I was up to moving down to Southern California or not. I also explained my 'no knowledge' of everything at this time.  There's not even a job offer yet.

Mom and Dad called me a bit later, inviting me to eat with them. They were going to The Sizzler, so I decided to tag-a-long.  I had planned on a bike ride after the meal but I couldn't find a certain pair of bike shorts, so I passed on the idea of the 'after dinner' bike ride.

I did more reading.  I watched "60 MINUTES" on TV and then I followed that up with a movie called INTIMATE ENCOUNTERS, starring Donna Mills and James Brolin. It was pretty good. It was about a woman (Donna Mills) who is married to her high-school sweetheart (James Brolin) for fifteen years and decides to go back to college.  While in college she begins to have 'love affairs'. I was out-of-it though. I kept dozing off in parts.

Every woman has to have something which singles her out, which catches the eye, which makes her the center of attention.
