Jan. 1, 2020.
A new decade begins.
We'll spend today at Rofi an Waheeda's home-with other folks in the meditation group.
Last night. Kelly cooked baked potato skin and black beans. I made cranberries and bought a small chocolate cake. Betry came over.
John McNalty called + I will see him Friday.
Maria was over yesterday and we worked on a prototype for the Series of RED photos, solved the issue of tracking those who download pieces, and made our plans as we begin the new year.
The year begins with a combination of buoyancy + joy about the possibility of 29 Pieces work, and dread of the political blood sport of election year. - Rights
