Monday July 10, 1989

Spent the day with mom. We went shopping, cleaned the house and read in the backyard.

Sunday July 9, 1989

I went to visit granny with mom. Played ping-pong with Gabe. Spent the rest of the afternoon picking cherries.

[Note: the house on Shenstone was my favourite, mostly because it had an amazing cherry tree.]

Saturday July 8, 1989

Crashed at Gary Don's the night before. We watched Boris Becker defeat Stefan Edberg to capture another Wimbledon title (his 3rd). We spent the rest of the day swimming. Rented Bloodsport with Guy, Katzin, Rog, Hilary Miller, Jen Burdoch and Cara Lurie.

Friday July 7, 1989

I went swimming at Gary Don's dad's house. That night Gary and I went to see New Order, The Sugarcubes, and PIL (Public Image Ltd.) at the CNE.

[Note: This was my first rock concert ever. Yeah, I know ... 15 is kind of late for a concert, blame it on my folks. New Order went on to become one of my favourite bands of all time. PIL was actually a Sex Pistols offshoot lead by Johnny Rotten (aka. Lydon)]

Thursday July 6, 1989

Gabe and I went to the JCC. We played tennis and then went for a swim. Lily and Izzy came over to our place for dinner. I rented and watched Predator and Masquerade.

Sunday July 2, 1989

[Note: This was my first time at the Skydome]

I went swimming at Fingret's place. Poster came over and then all of us went to Bayview Village to see Batman.

Thursday June 29, 1989

I was supposed to leave for California but the trip was cancelled. Sat at home during the day and then went to Video Invasion with Guy in the evening.

Wednesday June 28, 1989

Brian and I went to The Valley to play tennis. We ran into Ms. Genrich and she drove me all the way home. That night I hung out with Guy around Pining Rd.

[Note: I was appreciative of the ride and thought it was a super nice gesture; however, many people told me after that she was a notorious gossip and very nosy. Apparently she drove me home to get a sense of how I live - size of house, etc.]

[Note: The Valley is now called Adventure Valley]

Brad and I played tennis. Guy and I went to a party on Gretman Crescent and then I crashed at his place.
