Sept. 24: Drive up to Hollywood to hang out with Wendy. Meet at her work (Warner Studios) - I feel important because I park in the spot reserved for one of the Gugenhiems, Out to mexican for diner. Try to go to an Art happening, but the wait is way to long so end up at Wendy's and watch "Sunset Blvd".

Sept. 25: Sleep in. Went out to an interesting breakfast (peanut butter, banana, and chocolate chip sandwiches fried in egg like french toast - enough said) with Wendy. It's cold and grey so spent the afternoon with a movie rental. On the drive back to Laguna I stoped to have a beer with Jason (an old friend from college rowing days) in Westwood - it took an hour+ to find parking!!

Sept. 26: Family diner with Mom and Dad, Johana, Melinda and Gary, and Linda and Waren.

Sept. 27:Hung out at the house. Drove Paul to the airport. Went to the doctor, decided against the bilharzia test. Got a disk drive for my H/PC. Dug the Jeep's top out of the garage.

Sept. 29: My parents left early this morning to Morocco, via a couple weeks on the east coast. I went down to San Diego. Spent the afternoon shopping for health supplies (pain reliever, RX stuff - Cipro and Larium, deodorent, and fungus stuff), then went to the Travel Stop in Pacific Beach - talked alot, bought some replacement parts, new Tevas, a travel pillow, a hat, and some stuff bags. I had a great diner with old college friends, Mike, Chris and Dietka. On the way home I stopped in Oceanside and called John, another old college friend. We ended up meetinf for a late night beer, then quickly checked out his pad.

Sept. 29: Spent the day packing. Took care of some of the errands I had to do (printed bussiness cards, got the photo section of the journal working properly). Watched a great movie, Baraka, with my aunt Johanna (she's house sitting for my parents) and stayed up very late packing - but got it mostly done.
