The Twilight Zone

"It's been a long time since I wanted someone; and it was with you who I wanted to start again."

Dale, Judy, Carla and I all gathered together for lunch today at The Pizza Boat. It was a good gathering. Dale made a point of going on and on about my outing last Wednesday night with Carla in front of Judy. It was like he was planting a seed of jealousy in his own manipulative way.

I remained in the City late tonight and accompanied Carla to rent-a-car. We rented a red Camaro. She loved it. I'm beginning to believe she really loves HOT ROD "Red" sports cars. I drove it. It was pretty fun riding these wheels in and around the City.

I returned home and decided to go out to the Alameda club I had heard advertised on the radio called THE TWILIGHT ZONE. It's new and it's nearby. The only probably is that it was "dead". There was no fun, electric vibe. Denise Vinsonhaler came out from Contra Costa County with her friend, Kathy. They, too, felt THE TWILIGHT ZONE to be very high-school.
Denise remarked, "This place is dead."
"That's why it's called The Twilgiht Zone," I laughed.

And so, Denise, Kathy and I decide to head over to the Sheraton in Concord. Then we went to CARLOS MURPHY's. It was an okay, spontaneous time. Denise happened so see an old flame boyfriend.
Denise surprised me when she said, "You know, I want to have a baby…but no husband."
I answered, "I'm sure that can be arranged."
She's moving to Monterey very soon.  I seriously felt she was hinting about having my baby with no strings attached.

"I pretend to be modern but I'm old-fashioned."
