An excerpt from my diary, September 22, 1977, Thursday
A test of life for sure. I came home, We got robbed. Our tv, stereo, contents of freezer, my telescope, kitchen gadgets, all gone. So sad. Sooo, what does one do when upset? We eat. We went to Pizza Planet and ordered a black olive and bacon bits pizza.
