Trip to Vegas

Tomorrow Sue and I take off for Las Vegas, our first trip there since 1982, which means it'll be much different then we lived thered, For the last two days we have been gathering our shit together, meds, art work, clothes, etc. Today we tried out the new concentrator in the Subaru and it worked fine. I am also going to take three tanks and the shoulder pack for going places. Sue took the car for a check up, spending $350 in the process. It is going to be hot all the way as it has been over 100 in both places for 10 days. We will spend tomorrow night in Kingman and get to Vegas mid-morning on Thursday, if all goes well. We are staying in Jim's guest house on his property, which is fully equipped he says. He also said Tom Holland wants to meet me, the fellow who took my place in 1971. I am not sure he is teaching or not. There are some other people he wants me to meet. I an not too anxious to be on a social whirl, as I am anxious enough about being back in town and on campus. There are a lot of old ghosts there and god knows how we will feel once we are in that milieu again.

Yesterday morning Sue and I had one of our serious talks about her sexual past and how I keep punishing her for it. It all started about a note I wrote to Skip about Bridge in the Fog that she happened to come across by accident. We went round and around and around for 45 minutes and she felt better afterwards. I told her I realized that Bridge as it stands is Paranoid fiction. But I would like to try again. She said she had no problem with personal art, unless it was unfair and vindictive.
