The sun is setting in shining is hard as it can but it won't warm me up. My clerk at Avis loves Christmas and watches Christmas movies all year long. I didn't ask her if she had seen the Santaland Diaries. My aim is to see the play Enemy of the People at Muskegon County Community College tonight. but let's face it; it's a beautiful night for a color tour, for going to the cider mill. I think the cider mill in Spring Lake is still holding Friday evening entertainment. I am picking up a woman at her house in a half hour, the fourth time we've met for a night's entertainment. It's really possible we will bail on the play. As much as I love theater, theater is work. One must concentrate upon action and dialog until the drama hooks ones imagination and soul. Theater has two shifts, before and after intermission and one does not punch out until Ten at night. The sunset will be beautiful at any place on Lake Michigan. Sitting in a playhouse, I will miss the sunset. I have been thinking about the song "secret lovers that's what we are", all afternoon. I have no idea why my subconscious brings that song to mind. Deep down I'd rather be alone this evening. I wouldn't mind driving out to some town I have never been to before. For some reason the town of Whitehall comes to mind, and I wouldn't mind having dinner at the Harbor View Grille. I have 100 dollars in my pocket and that will buy steaks and wine for two easily at the Harbor View Grille. This is pathetic; but my idea of a good time some nights is sitting in my car some place where I don't live, writing these articles. I know an artist in Detroit who drives around in his van to find places where he can sketch and pain. I think he is a brilliant urban artist and I always think about him when I sit in my car to write. 12 minutes until the time we agreed to meet. I guess I need to leave for her house. I really believe the night out on the town can be a true adventure and I love to go from place to place without too much of a plan. Most people want a plan for their evening. I love the anything can happen kind of nights. I really wonder if I am compatible with anybody because of my nomadic ways. It's time to roll; have a good night all!
