and Hackman for dinner. I had been admiring this young girl by the poolside all 
afternoon and was quite infatuated over her. She (her name is Ann, as I 
overheard) probably is no more than 14, but has a real cute face and figure and 
appeared to be lonesome. After getting up my courage I went over and asked her 
if she would join me for dinner. She apologized that -she already had eaten and 
didn't think she ought to join me. I couldn't persuade her and was disappointed. 
I imagine I must look pretty fearsome. So I wandered alone into the Market 
Place, watched the entertainment center for a while, then walked along 
Waikiki looking for a place to eat. I ehose the Royal Lanai and decided to 
have a steak and some red wine, just for experimental sake. I was sitting in 
a small booth and opposite sat two beautiful girls, one blonde, the other 
black, with outlandish coiffures. They noticed me, asked me why I was alone, and 
asked me to join them. I nearly fell out of my chair but kept an air of 
confidence and proceeded to move my meal over to their small table, but the 
manager told me three couldn't eat at the table for two. So I premised I 
would join them as soon as I finished my meal. I was shaking as I ate my 
steak and sipped my wine. Cta.ce or twice during the meal, they again commented 
on my loneliness. By this time I had finished, they had to leave, so another 
opportunity to associate with women was lost. I sipped the last of my wine and 
revelled in my popularity. I walked back to the hotel feeling the effects of 
the wine. I cheerfully told Larry and Doug of my aborted opportunities and 
of course was made sport of. I packed most of my stuff for Maui, showered, 
started a letter to Mo® and Dad and finally hit the sack after midnight, having 
enjoyed some more Mozart.
