Shenanigan (definition-noun): reckless or malicious behavior that causes discomfort or annoyance in others
Twenty-five years ago today:
April 9, 1985Tuesday
This morning I drove Jim Koran to the Oakland Airport. We bid our farewells. Once again he gave me a kiss goodbye.
I went to the gym thereafter. Bob, the teaser, was there. He greeted me and ‘eyed-me’ the way he does. I decided to approach him.
I asked, “Hey, could you give me some tips on working my forearms?”
He was actually very helpful. He’s a definite QBL (Questionable) though. He’s also a good VBL (Viewable) and PBL (Possible). Where things will ever lead I do not know.
After my shower at the gym I saw Bob in the locker room. I know he checked me out a bit. He probably liked what he saw. Ha.
After the gym I went home and changed into my ‘French’ outfit and went to John’s, taking care of Ashley while John took a shower. John took a couple of pictures of Ashley and me, too.
We went to mom’s house for breakfast and I updated my wallet with pictures of Helen, Tony, John, Sherri, Mom, Dad and Ashley: The Immediate Armijo Family. I included a photo of Paloma, too.
John waxed his car in mom and dad’s driveway after breakfast. I went for a drive in my car with the convertible top down. I drove to Lake Temescal and hung out there, feeling the sun rays while checking out the limited viewable folks that were out and about. I wrote in my journal.
I went back to mom’s house for a bit and then home for a nap. When Dale Orlando came by at four o’clock I filled out an application to a restaurant called Shenanigans. It’s all Dale’s idea.
“So, Dale, I have to tell you about the last few days with Jim. I also got a call from Bonni Jayne on Saturday, on the 6th from New York.”
After giving him tidbits of the Jim Koran visit I expressed my wish to go to New York.
“I am tempted to fly over to visit Bonni in New York despite her current occupation.”
“Why? What does she do?” Dale asked.
“She’s a bartender at the Hotel Franklin’s Strip Joint.”
“Sounds seedy.”
“Maybe…all I know is that she recently got out of the hospital for a recurring gall bladder problem.”
Dale and I left for Jack London Square. We ended up eating at Pacific Fresh in Alameda.
I bought an ink pad to use for the “Michael” stamp I bought yesterday at the ‘Great Stuff’ shop on Park Street in Alameda. It’s a neat stamp. Look!
Dale and I had fun talking away about all the celebrities that Jim Koran runs into. We also talked about Bonni Jayne, Suzy Miller, Dee Orlando, Guy Grivet, Steffanya…and just plain me and him and ‘ourselves’ with regard to our views over felines and gentleman, etc.
We planned to visit Tony and Helen but they weren’t home at 7PM. We thought we’d go see “MASK”, the movie starring CHER. Alas, we went to the Grand Lake Theater, the Rockridge Theater, United Artists in Berkeley and the CALIFORNIA 3 in Berkeley and it wasn’t playing at any of them! We tried the Century Theaters but it wasn’t playing there either.
I gave Dale his Aries booklet and we talked a bit more until he left to go home.
Steff called and we had a lengthy conversation about my pictures that I had sent her.
“Oh Michael, I love them!”
“Really?”
“Yes, and you know what I think?”
“No, what do you think?”
“I think I want you to grow your moustache back.”
“That’s funny you said that because I’m growing EVERYTHING right now to test the look.”
She went on about this Jean-Pierre guy that she knows in the modeling world.
“I really think that with Jean-Pierre and ‘me’ as your manager we could make some extra bucks for you.”
“Oh yeah? Well, time will tell,” I replied.
Joan Rivers was hosting The Tonight Show. I did a foolish thing by calling Dale to tell him that Joan Rivers was on TV. I woke Dee and the baby. Oh well, I should call Steff and wake her up, too.
Tomorrow is ‘fix my bikes and camera’ day. It’s also RELAX day.
