“Why is that squirrel chasing the other squirrel?”
“Because he loves her.”
“Then why is she running away?”
“Because she’s scared.”

The Beginnings – Part 108: WAS THAT ALL A DREAM?
October 19, 1983
I enjoyed my lunch with Helen Wong today. I now have a definite date set for November 10th in Danville-San Ramon at BOBBY McGEE’s for dancing with Helen and ‘six’ other gals!
Helen asked, “Would you like to come over for dinner tonight?”
“Well, my mom is making her lasagna tonight, so I’ll probably be going there.”
I did enjoy mom’s lasagna. Once I returned home the first phone call I received was from Nici Maurino.
“Why don’t you come over here to Daly City?” Nici asked.
I wasn’t hot on driving over there but she persuaded me. We went to some Clothing Boutique and while there I was introduced to KEZR radio. They play some very nice, mellow tunes. Nici didn’t buy a thing at the shop; however, we had a nice time. The drive wasn’t so bad and our get-acquainted evening worked out splendidly. We actually stopped at McDonald’s and then went to her pad to watch DYNASTY.
Now I’ve returned home to Alameda and I’m getting ready for bed. I can’t help but wonder if I should have spent the night with Nici. She makes me reexamine myself inner feelings. I began to get a nice, queasy feeling when she teasingly unbuttoned my new 501 LEVI jeans. She’s on fast-forward. She’s funny. I only wish she was more sophisticated. I dislike her smoking habit. Ugh!
George telephoned me around 11:30PM.
He said, “I just got back from Los Gatos. I really think I’m going to get that clerk job in San Francisco at the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange.”
“I hope you get it. It sounds more prestigious than that Fiberglass place. You deserve it!”
“Call me tomorrow during one of your breaks.”
“Okay.”
“I’m just not sure if I’ll be working or not.”
Our conversation was short.
George said, “I Love you.”
I went along with it by saying, “Me too.”
It was time to call it a night. Or was that all a dream?
It can be so tough sometimes! But, remember this: It has been SO MUCH worse for others.
