I hope this turns out to be a good day for Michael. He should be able to help Mikey get ready for school and do those sort of things. He does not go to work until mid afternoon so he may be able to locate an apartment that will be closer and still convenient to work. I hope he applies at Safeway and searches out he Diversion program. I hope he can avoid Kate and Annie and just hang around people he is not quarelling with.

There are a few things I need to get going at work. I need to scare up some more money somewhere somehow.

I called at eleven thirty and got voice mail. I sent a message at twelve thirty. I called the Motel and no answer there. Hmmmmm. I got a text message that he had left his phone in a friend's car and it was temporarily run down would call me later. I have left over four messages and still no word from him. I tried to contact him at the motel and the line is busy or it is off the hook. I suppose things are all right or he would make an effort to contact me. I suspect he has the hots for this girl and is giving her a spin.

I finished watching Blood Diamond about the civil war in Africa and the intrigue of the diamond business in the center of it all.  It was all right but a little too much blood and action for my tastes. The Most Positive Memorable Moment was the exchange with the Hollenbeck kid. He seems like a nice person.
