Well thanks a-lot. And I got sick and O boy did I ever. I must have gotten a sinus infection from it because it hung-on for two or three months, one of the worst of those sorts of things I had ever had. Needless to say I was never the greatest of friends with Carl but I did learn not to let people breathe on one. The other major incident with Carl was in the period of the mad-phone caller unknown who harassed women on the phone un-mercilessly, and all the men were accused one by one. Now I was against this sort of accusation without evidence and back-bite and had been a victim of such myself. However when it came Carl's turn of accusement, I treated him as if he was guilty and felt bad about that because of course he wasn't and was eventually accused myself.
Both Jeff and Carl were not from San Francisco but back east somewhere, New York I think. In fact most people one generally knew were from somewhere else. I was from Illinois, the Professor from Massachusetts, Erica was from Road Island and she had a cousin who had that Road Island accent and who sat with us for a period, until the Professor had an affair with her. And then one morning he came crying the blues saying that Miss Roads had threatened him with bodily harm if he didn't do exactly as he was told. She claimed to have gangster friends who would rough him up for a song. So he never went back to her place and it was another love unrequited.
