An Inner Chill

MY WEEK WITH MARILYN, 2011 film

Twenty-five years ago today

February 14, 1987
Saturday

It was 2:30AM and I dropped Mark off at his house.  I went to a gas station and filled my car with gas when I suddenly had a boost of late night energy.
I thought, "Hell with it…I'm going to L.A.!"

I sat at the driver's seat and geared up for the drive. I just 'went for it' and stepped on the accelerator.  By 3:30AM I was feeling drowsy and wanted a nap. Thank God for the person that invented the highway Rest Area; whereby, I took a short nap.

I was on the road again, thinking about the wonderful Valentine that Eileen had sent me. She wrote a cute poem:

To My Valentine,
Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue.You are special To Me,
And I to you (hopefully).
You're such a cutie!
Happy Valentine's Day!


Love Your sweetheart, Eileen.

I arrived in Anaheim, CA at about 11AM. I was suddenly at Johnny Schaefer's house. I was so thrashed and tired that I ended up sleeping until 2PM or so. Then Johnny and I went for a bite to eat at MARIE CALLENDERS.

After munching out we went to the BLESSED SACRAMENT CHURCH in Hollywood, CA for the Saturday Night Mass. Johnny had to sing.  His voice brought out an inner chill and feeling inside of "wow-ness" within me.  After Mass we walked through Hollywood Boulevard where we saw a number of strange looking characters.

We went to see the movie, PLATOON.

I bought a humungous waffle ice-cream cone and an "On-Location in Beverly Hills" T-shirt for Eileen.

Johnny drove back to Anaheim.  I fell asleep immediately. Exhaustion had set-in.
