Twenty-five years ago today:

Sunday, February 19, 1984

I woke up at 10:30am when the telephone rang.
"Do you want to go and see some open houses with us today?" mom asked.
"I'll let you know later because I want to find out if my bike is ready," I replied.

The sun seems to be making an attempt to come out. I want to lay out and get some rays. Better yet, a bike ride would be better. I did learn that my bike would be ready by noon. I picked it up and did a 'Ride Like the Wind'.

I decided to lay out and 'catch some ray's in mom's backyard. Then I thought I might go to the beach in my little gray bathing suit when Chris Cordellos called (while I was changing into the bathing suit).

He persuaded me to drive out to Concord, making me believe it would be much warmer there. We laid out by the pool while thinking and speaking of the good time we had in the Concord Hills last night.

We went out for some blueberry cheesecake ice-cream at Baskin-Robbins. Chris likes it when I drive with the convertible top down. It feels good as we ride and feel the warm breeze. We came across a bike shop that I wanted to check out but it was closed. We drove farther out to Berkeley and at at a Taiwanese Restaurant. It was kind of Chris to treat me.

Later that night we drove to the Tiffany's Nightclub in Walnut Creek. This club allows admissions to those who are age 17 and up and 'no alcohol'. We were waiting in line for a long time just to be admitted, so we decided to split the scene. We found our way to Dan's Cocktail Lounge. After a quick drink we popped over to 'Dolce' for a Cafe Latte that was simply "delicioso". We took advantage of the Italian ice-cream 'to go', too. I drove Chris home and that pretty much summed up our evening.
