The Beginnings - Part 156: REAR WINDOW

The Beginnings – Part 156:  REAR WINDOW

December 6, 1983

Work went by quickly today.   It was nice having the top tier supervisors away for some conference in Carmel, CA.   I could use a future escape to Carmel myself.

Salima, my acting supervisor, made a definite breakfast date with me for December 20, 1983.   That should be a fun outing.

Tammy and I went out and ended up seeing the James Stewart classic film called REAR WINDOW at the Hayward Cinema 5.   REAR WINDOW is actually a 1954 film about a photographer who is laid up in his apartment with a broken leg.   He spies on his neighbors from his rear windowand becomes convinced one of them has committed a murder.  It was right up my alley.  We loved the film and had a roundabout discussion about our relationship after the show.   We both agreed that we both wish to spend more time together to see where it may lead.   I believe we ended the night on a good note.   Who knows where we’ll end up?   For now…it’s all good.

I did run into another smiling blond gal who works at the HOME PLATE diner across the street from my Webster Street building in Downtown Oakland.   Who knows if that will lead anywhere?   I do like the mutual smiles.

I paid off my CAPWELL Department store bill.   That’s a nice feeling of relief.

Nici and I made tentative arrangements for a TV watching evening for this Wednesday night.   She plans to watch DYNASTY with me and I get to explain all of the characters and storylines to her.   We’ll see how that goes…

Daily life is a constant onslaught on one’s perceptions, and everyone experiences some intermingling of the senses.
