This entry is from an ancient 1980 paper diary tucked away on our bookself. Rereading it revealed how much has changed, how much I am the same (in spite of growing up) which inspired my typing it into a 21st Century friendly form to share with the world - starting here.

Well folks - At Last It's here. Here I am sitting in the Pittsburg airport - And not at my favorite coffee shop either! yuk. Another tradition shot to hell. Crew and I had some good conversation in the car on the way to Atlanta today. I want him to become my church buddy. He would enjoy it. It's amazing how many things we see Eye to Eye on. Anyway - for posterity - this is what I'm wearing on D-day: Jean St. Germaine jeans, cowboy boots , green leotard, net vest, purple shirt purchased yesterday, green blazer w/buttons, Nanny Michel's watch, my ring made in crafts class and my long earring and one side of my hair pulled up. Smashing - Also a green scarf - everyone Looks. That means good and wild. Crew told me I looked beautiful today. I hope doug thinks the same thing. He says his favorite name is Bernie - I don't know if I can get used to calling him that.
I don't know what I'm going to do about calling Mom and Dad tomorrow - I'll have to put a sock over the phone or something. I'll want to make it Sound Long distance if anything else. T minus 2 and half hours and anxiously counting...
The flight here was uneventful enough. I was even hungry enough for lunch. I hope the entourage will be at the airport when I arrive - already I feel like aa celebrity. Nicky Tone Tone would call this place dineresque - At least the waitress is like that.
Note: The following paragraph was written in purple ink
Say hey book- What do you think about this neat new pen? matches today's outfit even! Met a good person at the coffee shop - And he gave me his card - He's in the Food + Beverage business - And maybe he'll function as a good connection someday. I'm just sitting at the gate waiting for the plane - And there's an hour to go before lift off. Bernie must be going nuts - I am anxious too - Who knows what this vacation will bring?
