June 26, 1979

I'm 15, and it's Tuesday.

Hi!  You're not going to believe what I did today.  I went with Don M. on our bikes to Findlay!  Round trip is about 50 miles!  I was tired when I got home.  It took us about 3.5 hours to get there and 2 to get back.  The wind was against us going there.  We left at 9:17 am and got in Findlay at 12:46 pm.  We stayed there for about three hours.  Entered BG at 5:48 pm.  That was the longest and farthest bike trip I've ever taken.

The part of the trip from BG to North Baltimore was pretty boring, since all you see are farm fields stretching to the horizon.  But from North Baltimore to Findlay was much more scenic, because of the diversity of the land.  When we got to Findlay, we stopped off at the chamber of commerce and got some maps (Don collects them).  Then we went to McDonalds for lunch, after which we went to the shopping mall where Don and I both played a whole bunch of songs on pianos and organs at a small Bedwin piano booth.  There were four organs and a spinet inside it.  When I grow up I want a good piano, pipe organ, and harpsichord.  Wishful thinking, probably.  I also want a rolltop desk.

Unfortunately I started this late at night again, and after that bike ride I'm exhausted.  See ya later!

[2008: yes, as a teen I wanted a harpsichord!  and a "good pipe organ"???  I also liked Victorian furniture.  What a wacko!  I do now have a rolltop desk, so that did happen.  Instead of victorian, I prefer Ikea now.  And see, I had a great time with Don! ]
