April 18, 2010:
Epic night drinking, Sirloin and Brew San Francisco, early 1982. College friend Keith, lovely gf Donna, Mark fresh from the Greyhound, sparking and bouncing with energy and enthusiasm and optimism.
Vibrant memory: staggering up and down hill to D's apartment at the foot of Lombard Street.
Motion and movement. Journal entries different cities days apart: San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Redlands. Friends, books, girls. Groping, groping, seeking by inches in the words on the page or the smile on the lips. Not yet become myself, but, there are glimmers.
