Nothing Much Else Happened: June 4, 1978

Today the Dodgers lost 9-4 to the Philadelphia Phillies. They lost yesterday, too, 5-1. Suddenly, they're on a 3 game losing streak and have fallen 4½ games out of 1st place. Carole cried from the Palisades to the new house, and her mother joined in some of the sobs as they moved away yesterday. Mr. Jones stayed back for a while and loaded the rest of the furniture. He saw me crying on our front door steps for half an hour, and later told the kids in Cucamonga. That's probably why Carole called me up around 2 o'clock — 3 hours after she moved! I could tell she missed me, and I missed her!
