Rob and I did some overtime to day. Looks like I'm right back to this sleep-work cycle. I have considered dipping into the slush fund for a trip to Hawaii. Why oh why did I not go there as a lad, or even over the last few years? I'd rather vacation in Europe than own a house right now, due to land taxes. But without direct money from Daddy, it's as elusive a goal as [getting] a good education without money.
See even if I stayed in school I’d still be bad off (referring to student load debt). Thanks dad. I'm slowly getting to know the area, I walked along the beach today. For somebody who's been here such a long time, Rob is sure unknowledgeable of the sea. Tina called. One thing, she gives a guy time to think.
[ Author’s note 2025: I remember this New Year’s Eve very well. I’m surprised I did not elaborate. It was not the best of New Year’s Eve as Rob aka Moogie had been evicted from the Dunbar Hotel on that night. I was driving in 19 80 Ford pickup, I had not yet learned if you have a truck you’re everybody’s best friend on moving day. Thus I turned the New Year waiting in a parking lot near the skid row Dunbar hotel 20 miles across the border into Canada. Until two in the morning.
A 1980 classic, the Stern Quicksilver.
