The Beginnings – Part 50: THE SENSUOUS MAN
July 1, 1983
Well, Tammy came over for lunch. I think I surprised a lot of coworkers. She looked pretty nice but I was feeling a little jittery about her presence at the office. We had fun by simply eating at SOUP N’ SUCH. It was funny because she expected me to drive her home.
I said, “No, you’ll have to wait until five o’clock when I get out of work!”
She waited and we had a good time on the BART train to San Leandro. We were reading parts of this book she had called THE SENSUOUS MAN. The book was written by an author known only as “M”. It was first published in 1971 and then again in 1982. It’s a detailed instruction manual on sexuality for men.
I joked with her and said, “Do you know who ‘M’ is?”
“No, who?”
“Me, of course.”
We walked from the San Leandro BART station to my apartment at THE TIMBERS. I had to walk my bike because she was on foot. Thereafter, I drove her home to Hayward.
Once I dropped Tammy off I went to pick up Gregg (George Jones) at the San Leandro BART station. I happened to run into Helen Wong.
Helen said, “I heard from Inez Jones that Tammy came to the office today.”
“Yes, she did.”
“Inez said she looked much older than eighteen.”
“Yes, she’s mature for her age.”
After some confusion I learned that George ended up getting off at the BAY FAIR BART Station instead of the San Leandro BART station; whereby, I had to back track to get him there. I drove to Berkeley and it was an interesting experience to see the B-52’s performing live on-stage at the Greek Theater. It was fun watching everyone dance. There were even some people who were ‘slam dancing’. George and I had a good time.
Once we returned to my apartment it became very intimate. I love ‘screwing around’ with him. He spent the night with me and we had more fun.

George and I ended up eating out at PRING’s the next morning. I picked up my mail and used more Wesson Oil (his idea) for one hell of an afternoon delight (and another shower. He’s fun. He liked to do things with me.
We shall see THE FLOCK OF SEAGULLS next Friday. I may also go with George for a Fourth of July picnic. I can’t wait until we go on that camping trip in Westwood, using only one sleeping bag (as he described).
After I drove George to the Sunnyvale area I returned home and called Tammy about going for a bike ride. She accompanied me for a short bike ride. She was intrigued by me and said, “I want to know more about that time that you were committed.”
I tried to explain the whole incident. I shared what memories I had of the whole manic episode, including scenes that I recalled at Gladman Hospital.
Tammy spoke in her ‘valley girl’ tone and said, “I think you’re totally okay now.”
I laughed, “Yes, me too.”
We ate dinner with Tammy and her family. I met Tammy’s little sister, Shelly. Shelly Duhr reminded me of Christa Keller (a high-school pal). It brought back some of my old high-school memories.
Tammy and I intend on going out to dance tonight. This should prove fine and dandy.
I said, “As long as we remove any daiquiris from our agenda I think we’ll be okay.”
She laughed out loud.
Once again I was lucky tonight. A cop pulled me over just to remind me to stop fully at a red light before making a right turn. I’m glad it was just a warning.
Hurrah!
I shared a few first grade jokes with Tammy when we got to my pad. She drank some of that RIUNITE wine that George bought. It was still in my refrigerator. We had a good time with the jokes (especially the dirty ones).
