Ken and Kajin go to Port Moody - November 15 2011

We went to PoCo so Ken could meet with Angelo at Coquitlam Mall. Kajin met Angelo for the first time, and they really hit it off. We had a great, long, involved discussion in the food court, talking about the public school system, society and children. Ken ate from the salad bar, then Kajin got super-hungry and ordered a lemon grass chicken to go from the Vietnamese place run by a Chinese family. We bid adieu to Angelo, then Kajin ate his lunch in the parking lot. We now had money (because before we were broke) so we drove to an off-license and spent some time choosing a bottle of red. We opted for the Cono Sur from Chilé, Pinot Noir, an organic grape, vintage '09. We thought of buying plastic cups, but the lovely cashiers gave us each green-sleeve glasses from the Rolling Rock Extra Pale Ale Company. We got back in the car and Ken talked about being a dad, Alaia, her school, his concerns about the way her teacher was treating her. We then drove to the Salmon Hatchery at PoMo, got a little lost, but back-tracked and entered. Kajin forgot his smokes so we went back to the parking lot and then into the park, on the trail, at which point Kajin switched his camera on. The light captured seemed wrong so they tried a new trick filtering the lens with Kajin's sunglasses. It worked better, and now the screen looked closer to the light cast by the day onto the forest and trail. We went to the bridge, and talked about our fathers, the wine we were drinking, Ken's mother, and watched the sun leave.

This film is dedicated to the spirits of Ken Andrew Hopkins and Goh Poh Seng, and to Ken's mom Linda (Hopkins, Gibson or Durkey). If anyone watching knows who or where she is please let us know.
