On this day I wrote that I my girlfriend
Kathryn at the Mint and her friend Christina and other people. She was singing when I came in and apparently
had sung about five songs up to then.
Then she and I went to Visuvio. Next
day we went to breakfast and we set up for Thanksgiving and then left for my
house. We enjoyed coffee with dad, the
Dallas game and Scrabble. Mom took us to
the beach for a walk. Then we had drinks
and started eating turkey and ham around 530.
My sister’s family showed up later.
Next morning we got up and drove across
the bridge then and on our way to Big Bend.
When we got there Kathryn’s buddy Marina greeted us and we walked around
her property. We saw the well and the
barn. She has a yurt that she sleeps in. We also looked at her gravity powered pumps
and played with tomahawks. She also has
pigs and chickens and she had just slaughtered a piglet. I remember we were up late that night.
Next morning we were up at 10 and after
eating a country breakfast, Kathryn and I drove to the Koske river bridge and
Big Bend. Later we went for a walk in
the forest. We also shot guns and saw
Marina’s new pump shelter. Dinner
consisted of soup and quiche. It being a
pig farm, there was a lot of ham in everything.
We drank whisky and talked for hours it seemed.
We left on the last day with ham and
cheese crepes and eggs in our stomachs. We drove to Big Bend for coffee and took some photos
of Shasta. We made it to SF by 630 and
ate and unpacked. Later I dropped the give
off with my mom at the Symphony hall and took transit to Kathryn’s house.
The next morning we had breakfast and
Kathryn went to. I took transit to Peet’s at West Portal where I wrote this
entry at around 1030 am.
This Memo series chronicles my life at regular
intervals and is meant to be a retrospective of what I have written and
experienced. In each of these posts I use my notes in conjunction with memory,
mementos and souvenirs to create a snap shot of my life.
