I spent the eve of New Year's in a pullman asleep on the way to Chicago Got up at 0710E [EST] and after working I had breakfast in the diner at 85. After a long and slow ride we arrived at Chicago at 1135 E [EST]. Turned my watch back an hour to Central Standard Time. Spent 4 hours stopover time at the Servicemen's Canteen where I met a very nice girl, Lillian Akers. Missed regular train now taking Zephyr at 1730 C [CST]. The Zephyr is going right there to Denver. Full asleep in the coach about 2030 C [CST].

This year I am making no new resolutions just keep up last years. They are, "Keep a Diary" and "Better myself in every way possible." Wonder what this year will bring.
