I’ve realized over the past year that one of my missions when it comes to the Army Of Good, of which I am a proud charter member, is to bring color and light to the Mansion. The Mansion itself is a cheerful and colorful place, but I have observed that the residents value wearing colorful clothes – sweaters,  shirts, T-shirts, hats and shoes.

I think – I am certain it helps them to feel brighter and more alive.

Wayne in particular strikes me as something of a hippie, he loves psychedelic clothes and colors and the three T-shirts I got him a few months ago were wearing out, so I went online and trawled for a bit and found him three 60’s and 70’s style shirts, one blue and the other two bright red and yellow and blue. If I’m not mistaken, they will glow in the night. I’m eager to see them.

Wayne spends much of his day sitting by the staircase at the entrance to the Mansion, he laughs and jokes with the staff and with me – he suggested I paint my nails red tonight in honor of Red Color is so important to Wayne and to the Mansion residents. I am always looking for ways to brighten them all up.

Thanks again for cleaning out the Mansion Amazon Wish List. They are not used to this, they are working on another list. “You are spoiling us,” a staffer told me today.”Great,” I said, “that’s the idea.”
