Finally this a.m. started on Bill’s mss. It’s going to take a lot longer than I thought I’m afraid it took an average of a little more than an hour per 25 pages. I did 75. Have hit a large question mark on Samuel’s age. Shirley called has had horrible time with her sister having lung surgery in Sacremento + came home to Margaret with gangreen!! I washed the front windows inside + out – I lost at yahtzee last night and I must say they look beautiful. Jimmy Whelan called again. God I wish he’d stop. I got a little snappy this time. Ann Hall made reservations (they’d cancelled ours) for Play it Again Sam and I went over to pick up the tickets. Terrible seats but complimentary. A highly inefficient box office. Went to Valley Bank + made a deposit for Dick + checked on the money from New York which hasn’t come in yet. Went to the Safeway + came home. Dick exhausted from Mario’s pool; the Whites and stopped by Mrs. Brown’s for chlorinator. Called Ann. We started to take a nap + Ed came over. When he left we did take one for about an hour. Then dressed + went to the Jungle Club for dinner. Saw the Dazeys + said hello. They hadn’t recognized Dick – “had heard he [crossed out letter] was sick” – thought he looked great. We went over to the Judy Bayley Theatre + met Ann + Eddie outside along with the Plotkins. He’s a manager at Ramones. I spotted Gertrude’s accent immediately for Boston + it turned out we all knew Herbert Margoles!!!! The play unfortunately a great disappointment especially as we were sitting in front of a bunch kids who had evidently been in on rehearsals + laughed deafeningly at every word. I liked the girl + thought Ed Boraski had an appealing quality but not the technique to support the role. We left at the end of the 2nd act as Dick was going nuts.
