Saturday October 31, 1987

Halloween. Kamin & I saw Someone To Watch Over Me at the Madison. Bresgi had a party at her place.

Friday Octoer 30, 1987

Handed in my book report (no idea which book). I had aother volleyball practice. You guessed it ... watched TV.

Thursday October 29, 1987

I went to McDonald's for lunch with Ulrich. That night I watched the Leafs shut down Mario Lemieux and the Penguins 4-0.

Wednesday October 28, 1987

We played baseball at lunch. I had volleyball after school. Watched the Leafs over Isles 5-2. Did homework.

Tuesday October 27, 1987

I went to Maple Leaf Gardens after school with Ryan Long and got tickets at the box office for Quebec, Washington & Rangers. Did homework and watched TV.

Monday October 26, 1987

Basketball tryouts ... no chance of making it though ... Goldberg hated me. Volleyball practice after school and then worked on my book report. Got into an argument with Brian.

Sunday October 25, 1987

I went to the Fun Fair @ Willowbrook with Guy, Jordi and Paul. Did homework and watched the World Series. It was the St.Louis Cardinals playing the Minnesota Twins - the first time to ever have a World Series game indoors. Parents came back home from their Greece/Israel trip.

Saturday October 24, 1987

Got up early to help mom go handing out flyers door-to-door. Alpern's Bar-Mitzvah at the Chimo Hotel. That was the first time I met his dad. I remmber playing some pretty solid nicky-9-doors in the hotel with Ulrich and others. Later in the afternoon I went to The Promenade w/Gabe.

Friday October 23rd, 1987

IA drawings due. French journal due. French Test. After school I helped mom by handing out flyers in the neighborhood.

Thursday October 22nd, 1987

Hot Dog money due??? (Not sure what that's all about!) Andrea Kauffman's Birthday. Played baseball after school. Did homework.

Wednesday October 21, 1987

Played foot-hockey at lunch. Volleyball practice after school. I watched Habs 10 Leafs 3. The more things change ...

Tuesday October 20, 1987

Science Project Presentation ... went OK. There was a handball tournament and my team came 3rd. Went over to Steve's place Marc Epstein. Steve told us about how his sister kept getting in trouble for sticking various things in her private areas. It was kind of a nasty mental image but it stuck with me for 20 years. Weird how some things take a firm hold in your mind and kind of just settle there for good.

Monday October 19, 1987

Ate at school. Not sure why I keep writing that. Who really cares where the hell I ate my lunch. Maybe it is symbolic of the fact Hart and I were growing apart. Eating at school as in not eating at Hart's? Played road hockey after school with Brian, Gary, Ryan, etc. Did homework.

Sunday October 18, 1987

I took Pepper for a marathon walk. Watched TV. Schooled Gabe at ping pong.

Saturday October 17, 1987

I ran errands with mom. Gabe and I were invited over to the Centner's for dinner. I remember a big scene at the dinner table when Gabe used the wrong fork with his salad. Clearly Steven had taught Sebastien the right approach and he was watching Gabe and then called it out when Gabe fucked up. I just remember Steven getting pissed and saying "Big fucking deal Sebastien!" They lived on Poplar Plains and it was possibly the nicest house I had ever been in at the time.

Friday October 16, 1987

We played baseball at lunch. I had French & Spelling Tests. After school in the library we drafted a hockey pool. Gary Berman ended up winning with Denis Savard as his best player. I came in 2nd with Steve Yzerman as my best player. Brian being the naive rookie took Shane 'I hear this guy is the next Gretzky' Corson in the 1st round! I think I remember why Briski hasn't entered a hockey pool since!

Thursday October 15, 1987

Ate at school. Played baseball at lunch and after school. Took the bus home with Don. (Who the hell is Don?) Did homework.

Wednesday October 14, 1987

A bunch of us played baseball at lunch. I had my first volleyball practice after school and then hung out with Ari and Ilan Weinreb. That night I watched the Leafs beat the North Stars. Brophy was a bum!

Tuesday October 13, 1987

Good news:I made it on the volleyball team!
Bad news: I got a C+ on the election project.

Monday October 12, 1987

Thanksgiving holiday ... parents out of town but my mother never made turkey dinners anyway and still to this day 20 years later ... no turkey dinner in my house. I did rent Burglar to compensate though ... Whoopi Goldberg in her prime ... I guess I got a turkey after all! That night I slept over at my grandparent's place.

Sunday October 11, 1987

Gabe, Stu Cohen, Kamin & I went to see In The Mood at Thornhill Square. I seem to recall the tickets costing $2.50! Also who knew that Patrick Dempsey would go on to become a major TV star ... like 15 years later! Paul came over to our place after for dinner and lots of ping-pong. He was famous for trying to make you choke by announcing "huge point" when it came down to crunch time in a game. I still beat him.

Saturday October 10, 1987

I went to see Like Father Like Son @ Promenade w/Jordi, Mark Owen, Brett Massey and Paul. That night I stayed home and rented Stardust Memories and Paradise Motel. In this clip, spot a young Sharon Stone.

Friday October 9, 1987

Wrote a math quiz. We had volleyball tryouts #2. Did homwork. Watched TV. Uh-oh ... not liking this pattern.

Thursday October 8, 1987

Went out for lunch w/Gary and Brian. Did homework. Watched TV. Hey, not every day of my life was publishing worthy ... excuse moi.

Wednesday October 7, 1987

Dad's 46th Birthday. We had a history pop quiz ... did well. Volleyball team tryouts ... I was extra inspired after watching the pro's the night before. Played ping-pong w/Gabe.

Tuesday October 6, 1987

I went for lunch with Gary, Perki, Brian and Yves to McDonald's. That night Gabe took me to York University to watch Canada v. Cuba in Volleyball. I didn't write down the score but I seem to recall Cuba whooping us.

Monday October 5, 1987

I hosted a ping-pong tournament at my house and then we all went for lunch at McDonald's. The final results were:


1st - Gary
2nd - Ron
3rd - Me
Non-finalists: Ulrich, Poster, Alpern

Sunday October 4, 1987

Parents left on trip to Greece & Israel. I washed dad's car for him. I watched the Jays get eliminated by the Detroit Tigers. Andrea K (Gabe's secret girlfriend at the time) came over. Gabe actually might have lost his virginity that night ... but he won't confirm or deny ... or simply doesn't remember considering he can barely remember what he had for breakfast this morning. Watched TV.

Saturday October 3, 1987

I went to the Promenade by myself. I got a yo-yo and Club Monaco sweatshirt. Did some homework and watched TV.

Friday October 2, 1987

A bunch of us played Red Ass at lunch. Watched TV.

Thursday October 1, 1987

Wrote a history test. My science chart was due. We began doing seed experiments in science. I went to The Promenade with mom.

Wednesday September 30, 1987

Packed a lunch and ate at school for the 1st time this year. Got into a fight with Hart. Watched TV. Zama, the Zarvinsky's and grandparents came over to celebrate a belated birthday for Gabe.

Tuesday September 29, 1987

I had lunch at Milberg's place.
