The Usual Jocks

He came as frequently as ever and was still the center of the universe for Michael.

February 9, 1987
Monday

The weekend wasn't all that bad. A brief summary would include the Friday "Eileen Round-Trip" date; Saturday breakfast with mom that included roundabout visits to Safeway and Walgreens;  Stephanie's game party in San Bruno; and a very lazy Sunday with some tender loving care for my car.

Steve Flander called me at my office."Hi Michael…I'd like to invite you for a drink this Saturday with me and my friend, Michael Amadeo."
"Well, I'm going to L.A. this weekend."
Strangely enough, Michael Amadeo calls me with a brief telephone introduction and asks, "How about if you come to meet us at Flander's Albany home on Thursday night?"That caught me off-guard but I answered pleasantly by saying, "Okay, sure."
I figured they seem like harmless enough chaps. What the hell? It could prove rewarding.

Carla treated me for lunch at MAX's. It's the least she could do. I just paid the thirteen dollar ticket I got from the car she rented a few months back. She's truly irresponsible. She's now thinking of changing her Rio de Janeiro trip to Hawaii.
I urged her by saying, "You should, Carla. Hawaii is so much easier and you'll still get fun in the sun!"

Uh oh…Stephanie appeared at my parked car window. I had left the champagne she gave me at her house.  How sweet of her to hand-deliver it to me.

I hit the gym on Monday night. The usual jocks were there: Mark, Phil, Stuart and Dave. I worked on the free weights. I had a good time. I am thinking of introducing Mark's kid brother, Phil, to my cousin Shonette West.

Stuart Western and I confirmed an outing for a drink soon.

Mark Landreth and I will soon hit the road for L.A.

To my surprise, Mark said, "You know, I called Annabelle Montero in Downey and told her that we're coming."
"You did! I tried calling her but her line was busy."

Johnny Schaefer said, "If you guys come…you're welcome to stay at my pad."
We shall see how things work out.

In a boarding school there are no secrets about who's built how and he might have had a boy's body, slight and frail, but one part of him was definitely well-developed and probably seemed more so because of the rest of him.
