See SMS messages with Gar, 18–19 Dec.

Encountered three different persons I knew on my short walk to the local train station: neighbor Σπύρος on 73rd St., fellow photog Gr’g S. on 37th Rd., and then Dan. C. (formerly of QPH) at the door to the underground barber shop greeting a worker or manager there with a kiss.

Disgraceful she‐bagging on the E (6625).

My birthday at Hollywood Diner (3094–95), Ave. of the Americas, my smartphone losing power as I was checking in online. Gar ordered French fries and corn as his potato and vegetable respectively, but the waiter returned to say there was no more corn and then listed the available substitute vegetables which included peas and carrots; Gar requested carrots alone without peas. When all the food had arrived but his French fries, Gar reminded the waiter who then griped that Gar had ordered carrots alone, as if he had declined the potato. Photograph of me by Gar.
