I'm feeling a bit blue now. I just this evening learned from an old friend, who just found out, that my first 'boyfriend' died five years ago. We went steady in 6th grade and he gave me a necklace with a little fake silver charm of a surfer, which I hung on a nail on my bedroom wall when I wasn't wearing it. The going steady only lasted about a month. It ended when a bunch of us went to a house that was being built and played spin the bottle. When it was our turn to kiss, I got scared and ran all the way home! We stayed friends till we were about twenty and even became next door neighbors in junior high. Here he is in 1968 when we were in high school. Everybody thought that with his curly hair and strong profile, he looked like a greek god. Rest In Peace, Guy.
So that morning when it was so foggy? I ran into this guy walking along the bike trail. He was a wee bit intoxo from cheap wine (you could smell the wine on his breath). It was like 8:30 in the morning, and he was drunk. Still, he was a happy drunk and was more than willing to let me take his photo.
