Much has happened in the past ten days. I began cleaning the garage with seriousness, contacting Mike Keefer in the process about the few dozen 20th Century Fox acetates I bought. Maybe the deal with Biondi - name of a Hillside Strangler - wasn’t such a bad one, found it came with about a dozen blues/jazz albums from Capitol/Decca etc. Now if I could just locate the Fox acetates I couldn’t find when Mike called back, I’d be in business.
Work proceeds nimbly on my blues book, reached Curtis Griffin, super interesting guy who filled in a lot of blanks. Will continue contacting folks.
Miracle alert: cable guy showed, after checking inside connections, did what I asked and picture did improve, proving that cable guy of years past was half ass.
Meanwhile, went to the Starks for New Years, had okay time with Tee-M (he was amazed we saw James Brown in '65) and them, got happy with screwdrivers, Ms. Megablogger almost burned down house with sloppy popper handling near a candle, think it sort of freaked them. Then we left. Mike mentioned hangover and fire last time I saw him, so I guess that was a big deal. Paulette mentioned back problem, a shame.
New Year’s Day, confronted cops over taking a shot of broken down hydraulic car at Clark & Conant – cop actually took one shot, not the one that was used. Watched football that day, good games.
Cutting thru the day to day stuff, which is important – like showing up a paper to get very little, but had a time with some stuff downtown. Jay bounced the cop shot story, thinking of dropping my workload to just scanner stuff, but stories continue to roll in, like one today, so what’s a reporter to do?
On Wednesday (& Friday), began riding bike again for about 45 min a day. Not fast, very slow, but I do it.
Two days ago, Valerie from Celebrity Home Delivery in Midway City called from 714 360-1987, wanting me to designate them as recipient of my shopping largess, asked her how much goes to feed homeless…4% she said, 96% to overhead…amazing, told Jay, not too interested…I think it’s a great story.
Friday, Ms. Megablogger went out, came back and started pitching me on a brand new old idea, get a dog. She had found one at Pitchford and convinced me to go in to take a look – a Jack Russell for $75 plus $30 for shots/medical work, plus, plus. Saw the dog, agreed to it, so now we get a dog on Monday. I decided on the name: Annie. After my mom’s real name, the real name of a dog lover deluxe.
Did show today. Tony Allen called, didn’t show.
