April 29, 1992: Mike Copping and I played chess while my daughter crawled under the pool tables

Thirty years ago today

            On Wednesday after picking up my daughter we went home by way of Now Magazine where I posted an ad. I called Mike Copping and he said to meet him either at 20:00 at a donut shop at Jarvis and Wellesley, or after 20:00 at Domino’s Café on Yonge Street. But Nancy didn’t call until 19:30 and then she asked if I’d take the baby downtown because she was going to a movie and she wanted me to hold onto our daughter until it got out. I told her to meet us at Domino’s. I took the streetcar to Jarvis and then walked up to Wellesley. The baby enjoyed the walk and the traffic, but Mike wasn’t at the donut shop. So, we went to Domino’s and while some guys stopped me to ask for directions, Mike came up and asked them for spare change. At Domino’s Mike and I played chess while the baby crawled around the club, exploring under the pool tables. After Nancy picked my daughter up, Mike and I drove around in his car checking out the hookers. After we got to my place we called up and talked to escorts. He crashed on my couch.
