Greenwich Village

Very excited to be outside the famous, "Cafe Wha?"

A breif note

Wearing a yellow tie in random places isn't supposed to have any philosophical meaning or art in it, but I guess some people think otherwise. Today, I found this interview with Borges in the The Paris Review:

I describe. I write. Now as for the color yellow, there is a physical explanation of that. When I began to lose my sight, the last color I saw was yellow, because it is the most vivid of colors. That’s why you have the Yellow Cab Company in the United States. At first they thought of making the cars scarlet. Then somebody found out that at night or when there was a fog that yellow stood out in a more vivid way. . . . Now when I began to lose my eyesight, when the world began to fade away from me, there was a time among my friends . . . well, they poked fun at me because I was always wearing yellow neckties. Then they thought I really liked yellow although it really was too glaring. I said, “Yes, to you, but not to me, because it is the only color I can see, practically!” I live in a grey world, rather like the silver screen world. But yellow stands out.

In our room

Jessica made me a tiny red origami hat for my finger and ... we continued to dress my finger up

Cheverly, Maryland

I love playgrounds

ALSO, Jessica made this for me:

Washinton Monument

Terribly excited. I had to sit down

Washington DC

At my new Starbucks. It's huge compared to the store in Portland. And it has these nice, big windows and brick walls. Very exciting

Fairfax, Virginia

Excited to see Jessica again.
She took this picture ("Paul! Daffodils! Quick, put your yellow tie on!")
