Dancing Experience

There is a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good.

-Edwin Denby

Twenty-five years ago today:

December 2, 1986
Tuesday

I met with Steph Bautista today. She really boosted my ego with a very highly-rated evaluation. I deserve it though (smiles).

I made a phone call to Eileen Grabinsky. I also pulled up her telephone account and learned that she is a housekeeper/nanny (probably for some very wealthy family in the Hillsborough area).
Eileen had said, "I work part-time for a Mercedes dealership."
Eileen and I may go out to THE VORTEX in Palo Alto for a Saturday night of dancing.  She has my telephone number now. She may call me to confirm this tentative date soon.

I had a pretty good work day. I'm happy about next Monday because I have the day off. I can take my car in for proactive repair.

I submitted my request for a five-thousand dollar withdrawal from my Company Savings Plan. I should receive the payment before the end of February 1987.

I telephoned my friend, Jim Koran, in Los Angeles to update him on my ticket problem for Los Angeles this weekend.
I explained, "I called AIR CAL and they told me the tickets were just like money…and without it I would not be allowed to board."
Jim said, "That's crazy."
"I know…I never received them! They told me I would be forced to purchase a new ticket at regular rates! That really pissed me off."

I also called Johnny Schaefer in Los Angeles. I decided to inform him of my hopeful trip to L.A.
I added, "The only problem is that it looks like the trip won't even take place at this point."

I took off for the gym. I was rapping with Dave Trapp when Anne Alberti appeared in a white sweatshirt with the "M" (for Medium) label still on.  She looks so good dressed in 'white'.
Anne insisted, "You have to take my class tomorrow!"
"Okay, when is it?"
"It's at six o'clock."
"Well, I get off work in San Francisco at five o'clock now, so it's highly unlikely."

I thought I ought to give her a phone call from work. I tried calling her tonight but there was no answer.

I did see my 'favorites' at the gym: Dave, Mark, Anne, and Stuart. They're all such gym regulars. It's nice to see them when I go there. I had a good work out, too. I will go again tomorrow night.

I went to SAFEWAY and the Christmas pine trees smelled so good when I walked-in to the store.

I telephoned my sister-in-law, Sherri, "I think I can safely cancel you having to drive me to the airport on Friday."
"Oh, okay," Sherri replied, "You should come over now to see our Christmas tree."
"Okay…I'll be right over."
When I arrived Ashley licked her tongue out at me. That was rude.
Of course, Ashley pouted, "Don't leave now," when I started to leave.
I gestured, "On lips…"
And Ashley gave me a kiss goodbye. It's the little things like that that make me feel so "touched".

I thought of Paloma today. I am not so sure where to write to her now. I should simply write to her in Paris at her mom's address. It will eventually get to her that way (at least).

I watched a Barbara WaWa (Walters) TV interview with Lionel Ritchie and Richard Pryor tonight.

I am going to pay off all of my bills. Once I'm clear I will only spend money when I actually have it (one day).

Experience ties in with the word "Experiment".   I currently feel that my experience with the male gender in my past was just that: 'an experiment'.

I have been thinking a lot of Eileen Grabinsky lately. I am looking forward to seeing her again.

Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.
