November 9, 1994: I had $36 in the bank but no money for food

Thirty years ago today

            On Wednesday I talked with Mistress Maria twice for several hours. I left home at 14:00 to go and pose at the A.Y. Jackson Secondary School and went up to Steeles and Leslie, but that turned out to be wrong. I should have gone to Cummer to catch the bus but by the time I reached a phone to call them I was too late to work and so of course I didn’t get paid. I went back downtown to pose at the Ontario College of Art from 19:00 to 22:00 and then I went to the Fat Albert’s open stage where Steve Lowe and Angeline were still doing their feature performance. I went home shortly after they finished because I was hungry. I only had $36 in the bank and no money to buy food.
