Thirty years ago today
I finished work at
14:00 after getting soaked and filthy in the rain. I changed my clothes at the
subway and went south to Bloor. At the Bank of Montreal at the Manulife Centre
I got a new MBB card and cashed my cheque. I went down to Queen and Church
where I got a new foil for my shaver. I took the streetcar back to Parkdale,
bought some shampoo and went home to get ready to meet Jennifer at the City TV
building.
When I arrived
there was a note from her at the desk to meet her and some of her cohorts for
drinks at X-Rays. I cringed at first at the idea of meeting strangers but
actually found her friends to be quite nice. It turned out that one of them had
drawn me in an art class at George Brown College. She remembered that when the
teacher was out of the room I had said to them, "Why don't you guys blow
this pop stand and go to a real art college?" She said she'd thought that
to be very cool. Jennifer asked her with mock offence, "How come I've
never seen your boyfriend naked?"
Jennifer and I
went to see "Unidentified Human Remains and the True nature of Love."
The play was much better than its actors.
