Good evening! Clear and 43 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. 🌌

It was a pretty good Monday. 💼 Kind of a busy day with work and meetings. After work I went over to John Wolcott house 🏡 to interview him more for our documentary. 📹 I probably talked too much but I had a lot of idea 💡 on stories I wanted to tell for the camera. Didn’t have a lot of extra time before and after it was too late to go to the grocery store so I just ended up getting milk 🥛 at Stewart’s.

Tomorrow I’m working downtown 💼 at least part of the day. 😷 I’ll just catch the bus downtown 🚌 and I have that mask I bought from Lynne. It is very comfortable, I wore it while I was at John Wolcott’s house this evening. I actually don’t mind working downtown 🚏it’s a nice change from the library. 🏢
