4/24/1979 was the night that changed my life. I knew what my calling was. Naturally I wanted to be the one up on stage but when I realized I couldn’t find a group of guys willing to make sacrifices in order to succeed, I knew I wanted to be a part of the picture. A few months later in July of 1979 I saw KISS for the first of many times to come and I was going to follow my dreams.
People that come from the region of the Ohio Valley weren’t known for being movers and shakers and if anything they didn’t have dreams. I did and I got as far away as I could once I had the means. And my former step mother constantly reminded me “You’re a dreamer, just like your father.” Well, look at me now.
April 24th 1979 will always be a special day to me.

My Tuesday night entertainment. Lots of nudity courtesy of Christena Ricci in a very odd movie where you really never discover what was reality and what was a sort of “in limbo between life and after life”. The movie bombed but I liked it.
Wednesday after work I got busy y with the 6 foot ladder I borrowed from Greg Duncan. Started replacing lightbulbs, cleaning ceiling fans, and once i start I cant stop. I took apart all of the wiring of the podcast room, replaced a curtain in there and proceeded to move shelving around in the Warhol room.
Monday and Tuesday after work I went to Mariano’s. There I discovered some really cool red glass lanterns on my way out so I went backland bought them. unfortunately the little bit by bit progress I’m making the back porch bar area is slow due to not really having 2-3 decent weather days to get things done. The wind is tearing it up and I had to bring plants in yesterday due to a frosty forecast. But once it’s done it’s going to be amazing

Thursday evening Jackie treated me to dinner at Tac Quick and we ordered a LOT of good food. It was great hanging with her again. I truly enjoy our time together. I think she’s going to be very inventive at the Gay Drunk Frogs BBQ Memorial Day weekend.

The woods are lovely dark and deep, and I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep. Did you hear me butterfly? Miles to go before you sleep.
Friday after work Greg Duncan and I were able to break the lock on my spare bike which I lost the key to last September when I went to see Danzig with him. We had a few drinks and he left at 7PM to pick up dinner for his wife Gina.
Then I got a big surprise when Melita came to pop in and visit for a little bit. Then the next day I went to her job at Output where she was bartending and the drinks started to flow ad the group sitting next to me ordered a lot of shots and the manager even bought a round. It hit me hard as I was drinking on an empty stomach and walked my bike home as I knew better than to try and ride. It ws a great time and I got to hang out with a very beautiful friend.

Got the guest/shared bike outfitted for Melitas biking lesson. She’s never learned to bike. Or swim. Maybe I will also teach her to swim
