Before I check in I took the red hunting hat off that I had but on in the cab. "I didn't want them thinking I was a screwball or something." They gave me a really crumby room. "I was to depressed" to care though. Once he left I was looking out the window and I saw all these perverts doing stuff. One guy was dressing up in women clothes and another to where licking drinks of one another. "Sex is something that I really just don't understand. I swear to god."

I then got in a cab and there was this wise guy named Mac that was my cab driver. At first I gave him the wrong address.  Then I said "You know those ducks in that lagoon right near Central Park South? That little lake? By any chance, do you happen to know where they go, the ducks, when its gets all frozen over? Do you happen to know by any chance?" Then he turned around and looked at my as if I was kidding him or something. Then I let it go and told him how I was traveling incognito. I then asked him if he would like to stop and join me for a drink. He said he couldn't and that was that. I finally go to the hotel I was staying at.

"The first thing I did when I got to Penn Station, I went into this phone booth." I was thinking of who I could call. I wanted to call my kid sister Phoebe but I didn't want my parents to answer plus it was around her bed time. "Then I thought go giving Jane Gallagers mother a buzz, and find out when Jane's vacation started." The I decided it was to late to call her. There is also this Sally Hayes girl that I thought I would call up because I knew that she had already started vacation. "I was afraid that her mother was going to answer though." I ended up calling no one.

I met this mom of this Ernest kid on the train. What a baster he was even though I didn't say that. She kept asking me all sorts of questions. Then she asked why I was leaving school early. I told her it was because I had a brain tumor and then form there I just started lying. "Once I get started, I can go on for ever." Thankfully the guy coming around to check tickets gave me a chance to stop. I also lied to her about my identity. She invited me to come spend some time at there lake house over the summer but I said I had to go visit my grandmother in South America which was a another lie. "I wouldn't go if my life depended on it."

It is Saturday night and I decided to get out of this goddam hell hole. Why wait until Wednesday. I walked to the train station and got on a train to New York.

I almost forgot to say when I was in New York I bought this red hunting hat.

Ackly came in my room and started wandering around and no matter how hard I tried to hint to him I didn't want him in there but he didn't seem to understand that.
