Really wanted to go to [baths?] or someplace but suppressed the urge. Got up at 8:00 had breakfast, left. Heard my favorite DJ on the way out. Maxine.

Thought about random things on the way. Nothing too new. Arrived in Los Angeles Sat 7/2 about 6:30. Exercised till 8. Chip + I went to see sunset - already set. So we went to my Holiday Inn + unpacked. Got showered. Went to give back car of Chips. Then up to LA. Ate at Theodore's. Then to Studio 1. Back around 2. Up at 10.

Then shower, breakfast, and go to Disneyland Sunday July 3. Had a good day, though the lines were pretty long, we saw a lot. Chip had a good time. I lost $40 bucks somehow. It was just lying out or maybe fell out of my pockets. My final feeling was I hope someone gets it who needs it. It reminded me though to charge RM 15 cents/mile not just gas.

Came home from there about

freedom to go to LA + make use of it but suppressed that. I'm getting good at that, just like I did at baths in Phoenix.

Came home in rush hour. Had dinner. Went to Spa at 8. Was Ladies day. So went to Ryan. No way in. So went to Redondo to look some more. Wait. First had to meet with Alan Cohen at 7:15 to see his Condominium.

After trip back to Redondo, it was 9:35 so I went to store, got milk, went home, [Tiger's???] milk, prebed routine + to bed at 10:00. Got up at 6:30.

Chip called Friday 7/8/77 morning while I was in shower. I eventually reached him on calling back. About the drawing.

I had not yet seen the inexpensive stuff in Redondo, so I began my day doing that. Got a full idea of pricing. One really good

anything special Friday night.

Sat morn 7/9 I think, as I've thought before, that Studio 1 is great when you go with someone on Friday or Saturday. Otherwise forget it. I did see a really hot blond number but he was going to show w/ someone. So I left at 1:00 and went to Baths. It was ok. But it is not hte way to make friends which is what I wanted to do.

I think I'll go out to local bars to try to meet some people. Pick up a TIMES sometime. See what's around. Or even try Studio 1 on weeknights. That's when I met Mike Root + Jimmy for whatever that's worth. Why didn't I ever call 'em?

So I got back at 5:00 AM SAT 7/9 went to sleep. Up at noon. Had breakfast. Tried to make appt at 1:00. But car wouldn't start. Tried to jumper it. Still nothing. So I went in Holiday Inn van to Redondo. Saw place + told Peter I would like to get it for $400.

magazines. Only one worth buying is Pers Comp. Saw new Heath computer kits. Also article about Pets. Also therein, Peddle said again that he is trying to get programs submitted from Pet customers. This is second time I've heard that. It was bad in terms of my plans. Talked about ASOC. Owner says he thinks a good home management system (general not finance) would be good. I say I don't think people are that interested in being so analytical.

Then went to buy groceries + went directly home. Made dinner and wrote Chip a long sorrowful letter about how badly I felt I treated him. I had also written him a letter Thursday morning while some of my stuff was being [cref'd?].

Also Friday I took a walk around Peninsula Center + went into Radio Shack. Heard about TRS-80.

My letter to Chip Sunday was spurred by lack of communication from Layne and no jobs in the Daily Breeze.
