Glenview

East Oakland, 28th Street Highland Hospital.
Ponytail under cap, with a very bald head on top.  Reading "History of Europe", a professor/former professor at UC Berkeley.  Traveling soon to visit his son at Syracuse University, an athletic trainer for women's lacrosse.  Very busy fall, travels will have to wait until December.  Take the train.  2 golden retrievers lassoed to a bicycle parking thing.  Upside down "U"

Friend writes.  Poetry I think.  Based on dreams and an elevated old man energy paired with lots of time to sit and breathe.  and traction, writing long hand.  Such a focused conversation.  Free of everything, just thoughts and talking, and listening.  Loads of listening.

German philosophy, test taking, Marshall Mcluhan. Students' ability to write.

I had a phone, 4 sections of non-matching newspapers.  2 from tomorrow's paper.  Billy Beane doesn't seem to notice if there is a drought.  So I looked for pickup trucks on craigslist, remembered Harvey Fite's Opus 40, drank a big coffee and two glasses of water, and daydreamed about applying to graduate school.  Because I believe I am an excellent candidate.

These guys grew old well.  sharp minds, friendly friends.
