Getting ready to head back to the UK. Have had a fun time here doing quite family oriented things.
Have built bridges with Jack and Kate, who are definitely quite relaxed with me now. Enjoyed, for example, sitting in Penn Station waiting for the train to Long Island eating hot dogs. Especially when I decided to use the camera function on my phone to take photos up the kids' noses.
Travelled into Brooklyn to visit Weezer Jnr. and Troy. Amazing apartment covered in art. They are both painters with hugely contrasting styles. Weezer's (aka Diane June's) art has representational elements which are flattened into an almost silkscreen effect. She uses house paints, and her choice of colour is for me one of the most striking aspects of her work.
Troy June seems incredibly prolific, painting on wood often. Lots of small paintings which climb in one huge group up the walls in the high walls of their apartment in a converted chocolate factory. Mostly representational in style, Troy's subject matter is very wide-ranging with faces, biblical scenes, nudes, landscapes, abstract patterns and so on.
We sloped about their apartment watching horror films and generally hanging out with Weezer and Troy, Steven (MJ's long term pal) and four cats and a dog.
On Sunday we went to MJ's brother's house not too far away. Michael and Ann were nice and made me feel very welcome. Michael took me to the coast nearby and we watched people fishing, and not catching anything while the fish leapt provocatively from the water nearby.
Mary Jane and me drew a mindmaps and spent much time plotting and scheming.
Feeling now the customary pre-flight twitching. This time however after new medication obtained in the US I will not be toilet mapping to anything like the same extent.
