progress

I had two ideas on Wednesday morning. A Long Beach History calendar, which Jay really likes, based on the LBPL newspaper files, should be a snap. Then to rerun the Chuck Niles special on WPMD on his death anniversary. I got Ken Borgers to get the OK from KCRW, talked with Mike Stark & Craig - though Mike wants Dennis Clare to be the only one consulted, to which Craig took offense. Can't say that I blame him, though we're all pretty sure he never listens to the station. Just a very mild guy. Or did all this happen Tuesday A.M., or did it happen at all?

Wednesday was a drag. Started OK. My first visit to the new 6th floor HQ of the Beachcomber, great views, pretty nice setting. Then to downtown to visit the new Renaissance H.S., over to Bagatelle's, then home in time to have a Chinese lunch with Sylvia on my way to Kaiser. That's when things went downhill in a hurry.

Eye doctor told me I need cataract surgery ASAP, so after stalling, after the appt., I decided to go forward...but surgery isn't what I had in mind for this season, but I'm led to believe it's a pretty good way to go.

Yesterday, Sylvia had her first day at the Y and I think it'll be great for her. I increased the # of machines to 11. Afterwards, I visited Tom Iacano, a very interesting guy on Loma, who collects 78s & LPs and sold me about 15 really good 45s for $20. I'll do a story on his photo bubble business.

Today it rained all day, promises to do the same, even more, tomorrow.
