That Trip to Hawaii

"Seasons change…but nothing ever changes at all."

Twenty-five years ago today:

January 12, 1987
Monday

I had lunch with Ryan Hargrave today. It looks like he is definitely moving to Texas. He'll be back. I just know it.

I keep having this fantasy about marrying Eileen Grabinsky. Is this what I really want? I don't know…yet.

I bumped into Nikki Bovee at noon.
Nikki said, "You know…I read your aspirations, the short and long-term goals today and I loved it! Steve will be talking to you tomorrow."
I smiled at the time. Now I wonder what it all means. I know Paul Margolis let Nikki in on his desire to take on the Account Collections Manager position in Los Angeles. I might like to have that position myself. It could lead me into the sales force faster at Pac Bell Directory. We shall see.

I have a recurring cough. My throat feels a tad swollen. I am still sick. I chose to take it easy. I don't want to push myself. I didn't bother going to the gym tonight.

Judy Geniella called me from Sacramento. It was really nice to hear from her. She loves not having to commute in to San Francisco anymore.

I invited Bob Guild over for pizza at my place.   I wanted some company.  We ate as we watched some movie about a gang that kills a spic (Spanish Puerto-Rican type). Bob left halfway through THE TONIGHT SHOW (with guest host Joan Rivers). I hit the hay after the show.

Carla has the week off from work. Tomorrow I have lunch plans with Barbara Reynolds. I have to take it easy because I've been working so hard lately.  I am looking into that trip to Hawaii in February. I deserve the escape.

Bob Guild wrote in my House Book: "To think we met on the road."
That was pretty clever. I liked that.
