Lots of fishing the Rio Grande, schmoozing friends, and wandering the western mesa. Some pages are notes especially for The Last Beautiful Days of Autumn. My diary for December 22, 1980 describes BIG MOMENT IN MY LIFE WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED, MY TRIP TO L.A. TO TALK WITH COSTA-GAVRAS ABOUT REWRITING "MISSING." This led to a secondary Hollywood screenwriting career. Also stories about Tina my baby bulldog. Trip with my kids to frozen Bernardin Lake. Back to L.A.
