Because it’s nice to see who someone (me) is talking about, I’ve included photos of Matthew
and Ashley—Matthew has the perm.The photos are both from around November of 1990 - notice that Matthew is wearing a Simpsons shirt... he was either ahead of the curve, or at least with the initial wave. He's in my apartment in the kitchen, with the bedroom behind him. Don't get any ideas, there. That sumo curtain blocks my hallway leading to my bathroom area and front door. Pretty much all restaurants utilize one of these curtains at the entranceway to their establishment. It's always low enough so that anyone entering has to duck their head--kind of in a mock bow. I'll look into the history of these things and get back to you.
Ashley's first floor place that was more typical of a Japanese apartment than my place--notice the tatami (grass) mats on the ground. Excluding her kitchen and bathroom, her other two rooms were had tatami flooring. The place was cold and cramped, and perhaps that was why she spent so much time at my place. Plus I learned to cook to feed both her and Matthew. Matthew brought beers, at least.In real time, your humble idiot author is in the process of moving, and his super-wife has accidentally packed his Wonderful Rife notes in a box. Who knew that keeping a journal for three years 19 years ago would be useful today?
Somewhere developing,
