Ben came for a visit on his way from Sherburne, NY to College Park, MD. He arrived wearing a Spartan helmet from the movie "The 300". He told me he wore it all the way from Sherburne to here, and that getting gas and stopping at lights was pretty interesting. I ditched the photograph I took of him by accident, Thus a spartan helmet I got from the internet. I had gone out earlier to buy Mexican sandwiches for lunch, at La Cabineta. Ben and I brought our sandwiches and one for her, up back to Cathys (Catherine Murphy) Studio. She was working on her new painting "Flight". After lunch Ben and I went to Catskill Art & Office to pick up our drawings that were mounted on foam core for my show in Sweden. He left in the mid afternoon to continue his journey.
