Dad's Diary 1989-1999 [lightly edited]
Sunday 1989 - Ate at Ponderosa, a child's plate fell off the salad bar and really messed up [my] suit that has to be cleaned. Mie Young Kim's wedding at 5:30 at Withrow Nature Preserve, exit 64 I-275. Visited Martha Brewer, she has been there 3 years and 5 months, still only about half filled. Overnight at Mariemont Inn, room 244, $47.85 total, small room but adequate, nice bath. MV stayed with us. She has lost 40 pounds. Took the #28 bus downtown to the Geneva Seminar on How to Sell Your Business ($95)
