When you haven't written anything in a long time, it's hard to start again. There's too much to cover, for one thing. What have you done since March? You can't talk about all of it, but whatever I did this weekend doesn't make much sense without knowing what I did last weekend, and so on and so forth. Yet a new entry was specially requested, via anonymous letter, a baffling turn of events. So, rambling and pointless though it may be, how could I say no?
Against all odds, Helen is still around. We are going to Los Angeles over Memorial Day weekend, Lord willing and the creek don't rise. Looking forward to seeing as many people as we can see.
I had only the vaguest idea who Banksy was before going to the movie, but I liked it anyway. It is a "documentary" that is, in all probability, another prank: an engineered piece of art that is about the process of making art that is itself trying to satirize the making and selling of art. (Yet if you should be of a mind to spend a lot of money to own a piece of Banksy Art, that can certainly be arranged; make no mistake.) Who knows if there is even such a person as Thierry Whatever his name was? So that's a lot to keep straight.
One more thing, I have been looking at facebook more than usual, for various reasons. Fact: My mom signed up for the facebook on the day that this comic was published. Question: is there an established word for the way you feel when you realize that you have been facebook-blocked by somebody you never attempted to contact? If not, I suggest "prejected."
Next stop Florida, to see the space shuttle launch Thursday. This is a Dickerson family adventure, so you know everything will go according to plan.
