8.5.10

Monday. January 22, 1945

Day off but worked on the publicity stuff in the AM - went to the English YMCA (Allied Officers' Club) for tea. Shopped for Jimmie's tobacco and cigarets. Sat through two movies in the Rec Hall talking with him. The clock goes very fast when I'm with Jimmie. The most astounding thing that ever happened to me. Much too difficult to explain...but something like finding out you were a twin and separated by a bad fairy since childhood.

The radio show is faster, smoother, as if controlled by a zeitgeist. Jimmie came into the studio before I'd finished so I produced my piece, and apologized to my five listeners, and "to the sixth listener who wanders in by mistake and whom we won't let out because of the noise of the door closing!". He spent the PM in the lounge - while I answered requests and had one of the boys do a pastel portrait of him.
