summer in maine

great night. slept well. dreamed i was going to maine for the summer, possibly by plane, more likely by bus. anxieties about packing. one bag or two. stopping over in boston i see gerald o'grady, my old professor, on a tv monitor going out the door. i try to reach him but fail, and then i think we had a conversation. encounter with gerald t., an old friend from dallas. up early as usual. headed to jps, mother and the bank. will drive. reading about liebnitz and spinoza. philosophy is hard...but interesting. have freshened my resolve to try to live right, pure and clean...what other way is there?! another encounter in my dream with an old or possible girl friend, maybe someone from colorado, on the night before i leave for maine. she was living in a subsidized high rise. dorm like atmosphere. trouble near the tcu campus. possible rioting, violence, terrorism.
