A stunning day. The entire London crawled out. We took a bus to Vauxhall and walked along the South Bank of the Thames to the Tate Modern via a lunch at the Oxo Tower Brasserie. I was surprised how close the Tate Modern, which will open in May, was to all the good things on the South Bank. I was quite impressed by the old powerhouse, too. It was much taller, wider, bigger than I had imagined it from a distance. Standing in front of the monster, I heard myself whisper: “A fair game.”
