Dream Walk: Day Books (1969-2009)

These are the URLs to my journal entries for specific dates. I'll be adding them in a piece-meal fashion, as the Spirit moves me. Most of the early entries are still in hand written form and need to be transcribed. I also have 10-1/2 hours of audio tapes to transcribe. Since 1988, I've been making my journal entries directly into various PCs, so they probably show up first.

Because I went digital back in 1988, I've got copies of my correspondence here, both e-mail and annual Ramadan/Christmas mailings. Sometimes, I'm compelled by circumstances to don my Cloak of Righteous Indignation. Sometimes, these things get published. Sometimes, I'm just in a Bad Mood and want to flame.

Diary entries for 1975 - Rochester, NY

This was the year that I decided to give up photography as a career, Chic and I parted company, and I started taking Computer Science courses at RIT. Most of this year is on audio tape (about 10½ hours worth) that I have not even cataloged, let alone started to transcribe. A lot of it is just rambling while smoking pot. <sigh!>

Diary entries for 1979 - Rochester, NY

Well, this was the year that I began my relationship with Lorraine, probably the longest and most healthy (least damaging?) relationship I had between my two marriages. I was into wearing bib-overalls (Oshkosh, b'gosh!) and added a graphics board and speech synthesizer to my 8-bit single-board computer.
