1989, hmmm
I remember that year. I took most of it off.
Started the year with a cruise through the Caribbean.
Spent the first few months working as maitre d' on the
Mississippi Queen. I had already been employed onboard for a couple of years.
My friend, Jere, was diagnosed with AIDS. He died the next year.
After leaving the Queen, I spent a few months living in New Orleans, where I somehow managed to have all my clothes stolen by someone I thought was a friend.
Watched the beginnings of the Loma Prieta quake while visiting friends in Virginia Beach, VA. My friend, Melissa, was pregnant at the time. Her son, born a short while later, just entered the army a couple of months ago.
Hey GC! Remember that avatar pic you and Claire wondered about. It was taken in the summer of 1989 in the Ozarks while visiting my Mom.
