Monday 9 February 2004

on the tarmac at Baltimore airport (Newark is temporarily closed to incoming traffic)

We passed a civilised morning at Norman Towers, Chris working on his computer, and me at the kitchen table writing arrangements for March. My hoped-for visit to the American Visionary Art Museum was stymied by a 'closed Mondays' sign, so we had a curry and threw around ideas for future projects instead. As we drove to the airport, Belle and Sebastian were playing (and talking) live on public radio in their usual charmingly shambolic fashion: another unexpected taste of home.
