October 31, 1999:

I am in a room and I hear Julie having sex in the next room.  I try to ignore it but the commotion gets louder and louder.   I finally walk out into the hallway with intent to knock on the door when it opens and Julie walks out smiling with Julian, who has a sinisterly full head of carrot colored hair.

I am trying to break into a two-story hotel, the bottom floor of which is a deli owned by Billy Joel, who’s retired to run a deli.  “This way, I can run it the way I want to run it,” he tells to sitting customers, “without pressure from the big boys.”

The customers point to a huge sign of a Philly cheesesteak.  “That looks delicious.”

Billy Joel nods.  “We actually don’t use either real cheese or steak,” then he adds, “and it’s not from Philly either.  It’s all done with chickpea.”

I wander out of the deli looking at the second floor of the hotel.  I think I could just jump on top of a parked car and climb to the railing, but what if I am seen?
