On January 18 of 2020 I wrote that the day before I was concerned about missing my bus and headed towards Sacramento. I made the station just fine but the Goldline light rail left before I could board.
I cashed a 20 at Starbucks and walked. On the way I discovered the light rail was delayed by a fire truck. I caught an Amador bound bus at 5:15 after talking to the dispatcher at five.
The bus dropped me at the 49 Amador city Junction. My old classmate missed me when he looked for me and dry town. His mom was surprised to see me walking up her driveway.
The house was loud with life and I hung out spoke until my old classmate, living in the house next door showed up. We went over to his house and spoke with his wife for a bit.
He and I went for sandwiches in Sutter Creek. He knew the bartender from high school. We discussed old acquaintances and hung out in town before heading back to his house where we drank whiskey into the night.
I woke at 830 when some of the people had returned from Safeway. We ate breakfast and three of us and I had coffee. Later my old classmate and I packed a couch into his pick up and went to his mom’s because he was moving into the apartment downstairs that weekend. When we were done we drank up his coffee and made a stop at Lowe’s for tape before getting more furniture.
We taped up the rooms and did a bunch of painting. That was when my hosts brothers showed up. I left him to do his painting and walked next door with his younger brother to grab some bottles. Later hung out in the kitchen at their mom’s while she made dinner.
I got to see the younger brothers close friends since his birthday was coming up. I chatted over chips with everyone. At 7 o’clock we ate lasagna. Later we went outside for some fresh air and then played Pictionary in the kitchen over dessert.
I led everyone in a round of happy birthday. After everyone left just a couple of us played pictionary until late.
This is an occasional series chronicling my life. This Notebook Analysis series is meant to be contemporaneous piece developed as an agglomeration of my notebook pages. In each of these posts I used my notes to develop my recent thoughts.
