Hello everyone. I am at the airport. Its 6am .trying to get coffee as I forgot my credit card. Its hard for me to reconcile buying a cup pf coffee with a card Cash is not acceptable I am sure ww are being groomed to ne cashless which seems discriminatory and encourages mindless spending Anyway its early i am amazed that I can send you a message via phone And You figured how to take a self picture copy and paste it. Unfortunately not a great shot just me saying hello

I am thinking of our upcomng family gathering Tomorrow will be Robert Mapplethorpe’s birthday and the anniversary Of my husbands death Both men are much on my mind.

I will write tomorrow of them. Now I am going to roam the airport looking for coffee for cash. I know this wasn’t much of a message but at least were all together.

Ahhhh. Success. Have the best day you can as we think of the great trials of others. See you tomorrow.
