28th (Thursday)
A nice discussion with Eve about the art projects
Told me she once dressed in mint green, 'From head
to foot,' including a petticoat, & how everyone on
skytrain was staring. Had a good idea for creating
a strait jacket & other suggestions for 'The
Politics of the Mind'. Said to her, 'I should do a
portrait of you wearing a pirate hat.' Very
impressed with her. UBC this afternoon selecting an
image for Chisato's portrait, & project schedule
for August, & pondering a little math diagram

coming down with a fever. Didn't hear from her today

Tokyo girl, and Yajing helping out with the Kanji on
the portrait. Gave Sachiyo her celery. Showed me all

large bruise. Looking forward to the gay parade

Tea with Chisato at Library Square Blenz
4th (Thursday) [Girl from the Northern Japanese Island
of Hokkaido]
Talked to Reanne, first time since she returned
from Toronto. Filled me in with the latest details
of her wedding plans, which are very creative & unique
Promised her more cake, & an old pop bottle or two
(which she needs as part of the decoration for the
wedding.) Clear, & rather hot this evening
5th (Friday)
Showed girl from Okinawa some of the portraits, & gave
her the four 'Fuji Seasons'. Rewarded with the most
lovely little smile. Her name is Aya. Wonderful little
visit to White Rock this evening with Chisato. Finally
able to show her Mt. Baker, which was a lovely pink &
white in the light of the setting sun
6th (Saturday)
In the bright sun & crowds midafternoon at Davie &
Denman, heard my name called. All of a sudden there was
Risako, who I hadn't seen for 5 or 6 years. She's living
in Kits at Burrard & 11th, & is recently divorced, she
told me. Looking forward to hopefully resuming our
friendship. Working on the website all day
