Buying caramel popcorn &
bottled water for Myle, who
loaned me her cellphone
'Don't drop it.'

Myle with no idea where or
what 'Abbey Road' was. Talking
to her about the next portrait
that I promised her she'll
actually like. Talking to
Heather about the Notre Dame
game

Myle charming this morning. Told
me that she asked all her friends
& none of them had heard of Abbey
Road. 'March of the Penguins'
this evening at Hollywood Theatre
Sweet girl at the concession

Showing Darcy, at London Drugs,
photos of Paris & London

22nd (Saturday)   [GBS/Stalin Pastel]
Myle almost knew who Hitler was,
had a vague idea that he had done
something nasty. She was charming,
just the same

23rd (Sunday)   [GBS/Stalin Pastel]
Walk along the river, late
afternoon, early evening with
Heather. A small tug called the
'River Queen; neon & the cold
white light of lumber mills
shimmering in the dark, slowly
flowing water. Quick tour of the
neighbourhood, & cheeseburgers &
ice cream at DQ, Cambie & Five
Rd. Home in time to see the
White Sox win in the 9th

The most perfect autumn
afternoon. Walking to Second
Beach, the freighters anchored
offshore, in a gentle veil of
mist

25th (Tuesday)   [GBS/Stalin Pastel]
Under a dark sky on Granville,
African girl in a billowy white
cotton skirt, dark blue jean
jacket, a bright blue/green
fabric once or twice wrapped
around her shoulders, low heel
shoes sparkling with sequins
Longest game in World Series
history. Nice win for the White
Sox. Heavy rain tonight

28th (Friday)   [GBS/Stalin Pastel]
Minori describing her trip to
New York. A very intriguing
woman. Myle telling me that she
mixed some of the caramel kernels,
that I bought yesterday, with her
morning bowl of oatmeal
