LA

The real question for any move is
what do I want to do there?
LA's big plus is the cute hunky guys.
But after you meet them. what do
you[circled and word I underlined is inserted]do with them? There's no
countryside to drive out to, no
mountains nearby to hike in,
although there are s?me big hills. [sentence enclosed in red box and line drawn to top of page with inserted text- 8/85: I should do more fun
social things,[date and phrase highlighted in yellow] not ABQ
type things from now on.
LA has shows, comedy, etc.]
And there's palm springs, but I
wouldn't want to make a habit of it.
The beaches get boring, even in Laguna.

On the last trip, I kept asking "Is
there a nice part of X" where X=
{ Silverlake, Venice, Culver City} to which
Jorge would always answer "You're in it." [ paragraph has red box drawn around it with side note inserted- still true 8/85. Red line drawn to bottom of page with text inserted- But West Hollywood is fune to start with,
and have Bev. Hills as a goal.]

Which brings us to the people there
& how to meet them. Jorge was very good
for me living in Santa Monica, but now he'll
be in Silverlake. I liked Santa Monica.
It's very different from most of the
Coastal towns. Incidentally, when I
say LA, I mean just 405 to LaBrea
& Olympic thru Beverly Hills. Santa Monica
is too far from gyms, bars, friends
