Tennis courts, Lost Lagoon:
eating ice cream, admiring the

leaves becoming distinctly
coloured autumn, sparkling
sunshine & the cool breeze off
the water. Watched 'Papillon'
for the first time since I
saw it at the Orpheum, over 30
years ago

PGA golf won by Singh, in a
playoff, at Whistling Straits
Another smoking hot day. Bought
a styrofoam head on Burnaby. The
guy asked what I was going to use
it for. I told him, 'Portrait of
a Styrofoam Head'. He laughed, &
told me the head had been quite
quiet lately. I asked if it had
a name. An older lady sitting on
a lawn chair nearby suggested
'Penlelope'

Thunder this morning, but no rain
Cooler in the library, & at the
Barn Cafe

Bought Myle a slurpee. She's
warming up to the hat portrait
idea, asking if she could have
a small version that she could
carry around. Met Laura, who
recommended a gallery at
Tinseltown, where she's having
a fashion show in Sept. Asha
nervous about being photographed,
that it feels like 'someone
looking into my soul.' Something
the Africans used to tell her
