53 It wasn’t that far, and I didn’t want to drive. Because of the late notice, I didn’t have time to eat. Johnny wasn’t there yet. He texted me he was running late. I ordered an old- fashioned and thought about what to do. So I was alone. Johnny told me to meet him at a bar on La Cienega. I decided I would bike over. I figured I’d get something at the bar. But when I got there, I learned there was no food, it’s strictly a bar.
