December 3, 1976

From 1976 desk journal

Friday

Yancie bitched last night keeping us up until 3:00 AM. So I was going to sleep late this morning. However Old Man called at 6:45, asking me to lay off house, which I did... with Joey. It was most successful lay-off yet, only taking 2 hrs. (2012 note: "laying off" was staking off precisely where foundation would go. Fairly abstract work. For some reason most carpenters could not do this.)

Received review "B" from Little Brown. Looked good.

Had an attack of nerves tonight at supper - re: Isabel. Will have to get out of here.
