August 8, 2004

"You did not say you liked or disliked anybody in the family.  They were a part of it, so you neither liked nor disliked them.  They were just there"--Centenary at Jalna

Dreamed of playing with a large helium balloon with a long leash; a late 1940's Reader's Digest article about a controversial female journalist called Willa; trying to see three movies in one night in Moncton, N.B.; becoming the new member of the 1960s soul music group The Temptations(?); describing a famous photograph of two little kids with British flags on V-E Day. [I like how it captures the mix of celebration and mourning that accompanies victory.]

Went to a picnic at Giuseppe's place in Scarborough.  His back yard is incredible--he's transformed it into a big garden with vines and pergolas and fountains and potted plants.  I talked a lot with Nabil's Austrian wife.

Parties leave me tired out.
