We did mainly corrections today. Charlie was grumpy and inconsistent. There was some interesting news. J.G. Ballard was coming to town and would visit Charlie. Looking forward to that. Charlies expressed amazement that Ballard was touring at all – apparently, he is something of a recluse.

Ballard’s visit to the United States may have had to do with the Spielberg filmed adaptation of his breatkthrough novel EMPIRE OF THE SUN. It had been released just a few months before, and nominated for several Oscars.
