July 5th | The Beige Inn | 97

I’ve already been out to the Pepitos AA Meeting to make the
coffee this morning. Got there earlyish (around 7am) and actually
endedup enjoyng it. I spent most of the morning walking with Jim B
a newcomer from south Wisconsin. He’s having girl trouble.
I'm surprised to even hear hge has a girl to have trouble with
Fat fucker. I bought him a meal at the uptown diner.
This is somewhere I could end up liking. Nice girls there.
I enjoyed his company though. We parted after that because
I needed to pick up my bike.

There followed much cycling followed by much browsing of books
followed by much chatter with Ma. She’s alright. She had felt a little
lonely to day. I’m fucked from walking and cycling I’m goung to go
to the Wesley Saturday Night AA meeting out of sheer boredom.
The Walker Art Gallery kept me amused momentarily
with their tasty books.
