Chuck D & Mr. T

It was cool watching a Wolfgang Tilmans slide show with the boys at the Met

I love when then girls describe things as “soo cute!!” Or “soo cutie!!” 

Charlie is at Camp Winaukee for three weeks. First time sleeping away at camp. He is totally ready and excited. I’m so happy for him, knowing he is having one of the most important experiences right now even though I miss him. I want to call him but am glad I can’t so that he can grow without me. Before he left I asked him if he was feeling excited, nervous, curious, happy and he said curious and happy. So impressed by his maturity and bravery. I also have him $20 which he was soles about and got him arsenal and caps bedding (the one place he can use aesthetically u pleasing to me linens). 

missing charlie at camp. Entertaining others with camp-like activities of three-legged race and wheelbarrow races.  

amazing week with boys, they had the best time together, loved loved arsenal camp and were so excited to go every day, had fun in the Ingrams apartment, dinners with Anna, Hannah, Milly, Greg, Carolyn, Jenna, Andy, seeing the Sphinx, Temple of Dendur, Pollocks, Kellys, armor, Dino bones, trips to FAO Schwartz, 100 uber rides, a long visit to Frederic Malle where charlie practiced being a nose and each boy got samples, China through the Looking Glass and great soccer (Teddy won player of the day). The traffic-laden ride home with the boys, making up stories about the Grosso Disgusti family was even fun.

So much ugliness in life if you can make something beautiful do…I always feel I’m a conceptual artist who never creates any of the concepts. I’m going to change that starting today. For a long time I’ve assembled things and now I really need to realize it is art. 

I’m in NYC with Charlie and Teddy. So happy at Arsenal Camp. So happy staying at Monika and Paulus apartment. Dinner with Anna who so kindly brought gifts of Lego. Dinners out with the boys-sometimes acting like total maniacs. Dancing in a store. Trying to be stern but I was laughing. Sad I’m not with Teddy each day but happy he is loving camp. Frederic Malle magnolia perfume is amazing. Ran into Nicole’s sister and her kids on the street. Such a small world. 

Send the girls pics of things I see. Love their responses of “Soo cutie! Soooo cutie!” I love it when they say that.
