2nd floor of The Bay, a half
dozen mannequins with various
styles of turban fashioned
from white towels

24th (Sunday)
After Home Depot, walked over
to Shari's, who described a
golden memory of her time at
Chateau Lake Loise, in a
closet with a vaccum hose
wrapped around herself, a
sort of protest she told me

25th (Monday)   [Girl from Tokyo]
Perfect summer afternoon

26th (Tuesday)   [Girl from Tokyo]
Complimented Eleanor on her
hands, again. Thinking later
that her hands & arms would
be perfect for 'Meltdown'
Asha working at Granville
Island didn't get a chance to
talk

Roden exhibition this evening
with Heather drinking Coke in
the warm sun before,
hamburgers, donuts, & ice
cream at McD's Burrard. Later,
in a cool evening breeze
Heather suggested I grow a
beard like Rodin

No neon shots, she still
can't figure out where she
lost her digital camera

5th (Friday)
Picked up passport from
Charlene, who was quite
charming. Reading 'Makers
of Mathematics' in the
Seymour Room, panorama of
a late summer evening
through the big windows
Downstairs, my face
touching Melinda's hair,
a lovely essence

6th (Saturday)
Memorable evening with
Heather, picking
blackberries east of 2nd
Narrows for an hour next
to a warehouse, view
from a tiny 'peninsula'
between the two bridges
: view to the east of
the refinery all
covered with sparkling
points of light, like
some fairy castle;
downtown skyline to
the east beginning to
sparkle too in the
late summer twilight
Washing our hands of
blackberry stains in
the salt water,
columns of Canada
Geese offshore. A
train & a freighter
into the mix

8th (Monday)
Showed Minori the portrait,
who complained that one
eye looked smaller than
the other, & said she
wanted to 'bite' me
Co-worker came over & said
'I'd know it was you.'
