Monday August 10, 1987


Mom and I walked around Brighton Beach Ave. and Coney Island Ave. Bought groceries. Mom got Russian books, etc. Later Garik picked us up and took us to their place in Queens. We had dinner at their place. After dinner my cousin Oleg took me out for a tour in his brand new silver Alpha Romeo Spider. He took me to Flushing Meadows where the U.S. Open happens and Shea Stadium where the Mets play. That was also the first time I ever saw marijuana. I remember him asking me to look for some "tea" in the glove compartment and actually searching around for tea bags. In the end he was shocked that this 12 year old Canadian was lame; and I was convined my cousin was a drug addict.
