Just thinking about the multitude of ghosts that haunt every Thanksgiving and the network of friends around the globe who have made this a special holiday: 44 years ago President Kennedy was killed just a couple of minutes drive from my home; 10 years ago Michael Hutchence was found dead; Sonia in Kumamoto and the apato I painted green with the windows closed–I don’t think my brain cells have really fully recovered; Tak & family in Osaka with my first bottle of beaujolais; Jola & the girls in Warsaw with several other bottles…; Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade way back in 1986 and the crappy meal in the basement of the Empire State Bldg.; “In this fateful hour…” over and over; and now me alone with a stack of books and one painting by Redon to keep me company.
