1959 Su - A little boy running around being chased by his sister at Mass. [ed. - this was such an event that I recorded it, and that 20 years later all the little kids were running amuck at Mass].
1967 After work Don, Dan, Tom, Darrell, Les, Judy, Gail, Jan, Carole, Blanch, Edith, Hazel and I went to Dee's (it was her birthday) for a barbeque and Pokeno.
1972 Up at 5AM. Epeli drove me in to pick Gail up at Nausori. Epeli drove us past the school block so all of the boys could get a glimpse of the new woman. Murphy had his class wave. Ian came up with Stevie. Trish and Tribina came up giggling away. Stopped at Doli's and then down to White's for lunch. Shaun came up with flowers. Dinner at White's, then movies (NZ, Taj Mahal and an elephant hunt) at Kaci's. Gail is staying with Whites.
1975 Helped Bob move stuff to new house in Golden Valley. When we got to Town's at 9PM Gutzkes were there. They had brought Cheryl to see Alice Cooper. Dick, Dewey and Blackie showed up drunk. Had a couple beers with Dick.
1977 Show on TV explaining McDonald's.
1978 Gail bought a Philips 17" black & white TV for $100 in Mangere.
1985 F - Drove to work for the first time (2 months of taking the free bus). Got a shock off an extension cord which had a plug at each end (?). Peter Gregory got so upset that he interrupted a meeting to berate Max Brown who left it in IC.
1987 Met Sanders at Cobb & Co to celebrate my supervisor promotion. Got an account of Mike's run-in with a buzzsaw and his day at the hospital patching up where the tip of his finger had been. Liz Webber hostess there on Sunday nights and gave us a free carafe of wine.
1988 OZ trip: Adelaide with Heasleys. Go to Trip Report
1990 Peter Taylor, John Kingi and Linda Simmons interviewed me for the PCS manager position. Since I didn't want it and they forced me to apply I really didn't care. So when they focused on my managerial technique and the fact that the IC is falling apart I let Peter have it by pointing out that he kept giving me people who weren't qualified or suited for the job and that staff weren't leaving because of me but because of the lack of support we have to endure.
1996 Oreos now in NZ.
2000 W - Played Pass Rummy with Titania, Gail and Ne then birthday cake for Senad.
2001 Picked up the dogs from vet ($300 for dental work) who told us to kept them warm, quiet and no food. Yah sure, they get home and they are like rockets dashing all over the place. Cabby was crying so much for food that they were fed. Ian came by so we could look at an Iridium flare.
2010 M - email from Sal saying they had Ann and Russell over for a meal after the Warriors game.
2015 Su - Watched Warriors 30 - Raiders 8 (highlights).
2019 F - Houghton's for an evening of TP. Gail said she wanted lobster, so when we got out the car I went to the 4 Square to look for one and yelled to Gail to get me "something". Russell and Ann heard me, but apparently Gail didn't. So, in a huff, she went back in to get me some Chinese. The Platz driver's window shattered when we got home.
