Hello everyone-
My apologies for not posting in this last week-plus. A lot has happened since I got here, including the arrival of the chord that connects my camera to my computer, thus photos and a new entry. Here it is:
This is Gary.
On and off now for the past Fifteen years, Gary has adorned the the John Lennon Memorial in Central Park with flowers in the shape of multiple peace signs. Along with this he also gives a brief speech about the memorial, the Dakota, John and Yoko etc... Knowing none of this when I arrived, I thought the best place to put my own flowers would be next to a ukelele sitting at the side of the memorial. "Hey bro" Gary said to me shortly after doing so "mind if I move those to the top?" Not necessarily what I was expecting him to say but after spending a few minutes around him, it made sense. I had with me a second batch of flowers, ones I said I'd put down for Chelsea's friend Jennie. I offered them to Gary, he in turn used the two sets of flowers to form a cross at the top of the memorial, maybe not seen below but they're in there.
I thought that was pretty cool.
So it's late and that's all I can write tonight but I wanted to share that with you guys.
A lot more to come a lot sooner.
Tom
