I had very little to do all day. Dor was quite busy on ATS jobs for Rita Schuman and Ron Hartsough which she did not think she could turn over to me.
I got my time card in, then spent most of the day putting on ATS the copy Yvette Muldrow had made for me of her recitation, “We Beg Your Pardon, America.” There were a number of gaps where I could not make out the words or phrases so I xeroxed a copy for her so that she cold fill them in.
Ate at my desk. I was very sleepy and had arranged with Cathy Costello to lie down in an unoccupied office for an hour, provided I kept the matter conference. However, Dor was in a conversational mood and started talking about religion and immortality and I could not conveniently get away. She did suggest I take some time off, because most of the staff was doing so in observance of Good Friday.
I went down to look at the Royal typewriters at the store on Mission but they were closed. I browsed in a book store for an hour or so.
Betty was giving Dor a ride to the train, as the latter’s son was working on his car. We left at closing time.
I had a half hour’s nap at home.
Christians took me to the Temple for dinner and entertainment put on by the SF Youth Group. They called it “A Night in Guyana.”
Communal people were getting their dinner in the back room when we arrived about 7.00. Those who had purchased tickets were served at tables in the main room. Young people came to each person and accompanied them as food was put on their trays. Guests were not served in order and I had to wait a considerable time before getting my dinner.
The menu was turkey, dressing, green beans, salad, cranberry sauce, rolls and choice of cake or sweet potato pie and punch.
After eating we went upstairs to see the program. Several skits were presented. The African dancers performed and the young men in new suits did several musical numbers.
When I told Lisa Layton about my transportation problem for Tuesday, she offered to come after me. She will get on the Bay Bridge from downtown to get to her job at the UC Library in Berkeley.
The program was over about 11.00.
When I got home, I read for an hour. Went to bed about 1.30.
