Although I have not been contributing much to this site over the last week or so, there have been many things I could have written about. My recent trip to Boston for a long weekend visiting Father Ben. The grilling from US Customs on the way in. The foreignness of the USA and its intriguing people. The films I have seen this week — Donnie Darko, Die Another Day, Chopper — a pretty eclectic selection, all interesting in different ways. Thoughts about my job. Thoughts about responsibility and the future. But at the forefront of my mind, it has suddenly struck me that Chrish is really going to move out into his own flat next month. The final stage in the diaspora of the 58 boys/ Dalston Massive. The end of an era. A significant time. I guess we all have to grow up sooner or later.
