20 October 2006. Again, fall sun...possibility. Dad would turn 100 today: Mozyr, Minskiye Guberniye, 1906...
Last night: Nathaniel's drawings--on the verge. Also possibility. A playful and dreamy fullness--we learn this way just who we are. Later: the Russian musician--along the lines of Bulat Okudzhava--but more comfortable. Reliving those years. (The "human" song, Clara told us.) Gypsy accompaniment--mournful but also knowing--never ending on a wrong note--in this untrue. But be generous: at the end of he evening, two young girls with their mom's thick black Chinese hair--at the piano, dying to join in... Clementina, Bach, avid little faces. He holds the guitar with a chord in place, so the older girl can move her fingers across the strings...
Osher. Begin again...

Correction: Osher Dubovsky (Oscar Dubow), my father, was born on October 20, 2004 (not 2006, as written here. My mother's birthday was 15 January 2006.)
