The Beginnings – Part 110: MAGNI-FEET
October 21, 1983
Dave Vigil leaves for New York City tomorrow. He will be running in a Marathon there.
He said, “Watch for me on the Wide World of Sports. You might see me on TV.”
“Yeah, right,” I replied with a smirk.
The Assistant Manager, Kathy Dombrowski, covered three of my incoming customer contact calls (unbeknownst to me). Everything was A-Okay, so that was great news. I dislike that pressure.
Helen and I were riding on BART together until we reached the Fruitvale Station. My car was safely in the parking lot and I drove to YOSHI’s for dinner in North Oakland. It was okay. She raves about it. We went to her place afterward and watched some sit-com called WEBSTER. We massaged each other while watching TV. It was relaxing. We discussed the idea of opening a foot massage business. We came up with Business name ideas like ‘Magni-Feet’ (as in Magnifique). We also thought of ‘SAGE Feet’ or ‘Free Your Feet’. It was funny; however, it was quite an interesting idea. Foot and hand massages are great. We enjoyed some Hills Brothers Amaretto coffee, too. I had never had that almond flavor in coffee. I really liked it. I left her house at around 11:30PM.
When I arrived home I was thrilled to find my pictures in the mailbox. It was upsetting though. They only processed 3 x 5 prints instead of the larger 4 x 6. Helen’s 8 x 10 print came out very well. The 3 x 5’s look great. I especially like the ones I took of George and Paige and George’s nephews.
“One day you’ll no longer know me,” he said, “You’ll drop me as if I were contagious.”
“Why would I ever do that?”
He looked at me with the saddest expression I had ever seen on anyone’s face. “There’s much about me you don’t know.”
“Then tell me.”
“Ah, yes. But that’s the point. There’s much I don’t want you to know.”
