I'm wandering around with Wally and Jim Damberg on Mack Ave. We talk about how Fiddler's Music is closing and we should visit it one last time. Then we're in a record store and I see some Jose Feliciano records. I ask if he's still around and Jim tells me he's really popular with Jewish people. I'm not sure if he's joking or not..

I'm studying art at Cranbrook. For our senior project we're supposed to team up with a partner and create a sculpture. I work with Doggo only he does all the work, chopping up sticks and pieces of metal to create something. Meanwhile, I have an empty BBQ coal bags that has bits of tomatoes smeared on the inside. I roam around the campus ooking for a spot I can put it so birds will spot it and have something to eat.

I'm at the central branch of our library and it's been dolled up for an advertising awards party. They start putting out food. I decide I'd like to attend after I run into Schmengie. I call my wife and Deb and ask them to bring a change of clothes for me. When I look into the bag expecting some black jeans, there are a ripped pair of pants and some shoes for Deb. I'm wearing white Converse All Stars and I figure I'll just look out of place.

I'm in a bar or restaurant with my dad. He stands up and pulls out some gardening shears and throws them up at the ceiling and they stick. Then I spot a couple of state troopers get up and come over to our table. I'm sure they're going to arrest my dad but they have some shears as well and they throw them up at the ceiling. Then several other people do the same. My dad looks at me and says, "And my son didn't want me to do this!"

 I go ice fishing with my brother Paul. I ask him if we use fishing poles and he say no. We just chop a hole in the ice and put our lines in there. He dives into the water and comes up with a red and black fish. I think he's crazy!

I'm talking to my B-I-L Bill about color coordinating his Christmas tree. I tell him it would be cool to have the top part of the tree covered with red lights and bulbs. Then each section going down a different color. 

There was a female tutor from back in my high school days. Somehow, if we had gotten together back in the day, we might have gotten married. She was going to be in town for a class reunion and I was looking forward to seeing her again.

I went into a comedy club with a friend who was also the owner. She encourages me to do a standup bit. I told her I didn't have any material but I had done a few bits a while ago. I was planning on having something to eat there. It was located on Mack Ave. in the former home of Union Street bar.
