I got Samuel a new toy (duck). He loved running around, chasing it while it flew with the plastic still on it. He loves ripping the plastic off toys himself. 

There ARE schools outdoors Tookie. The story doesn't say how many or even make a guess, but it describes four.  https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/us/outdoor-classroom-design.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage&section=Education

The other day I told Karen the name I gave my presentation on Monday and she reminded me that I can't give a presentation Monday, we're driving Monday! We expect traffic to be about as bad as it usually is for Thanksgiving which is why we are going on Monday not the weekend. 

Today she got her before-we-go-to-NY test. After we arrive she has to get a second one and then, with two sets of negative results, she can see the dentist. I am essentially quarantining - I won't be going anywhere in NY - so I don't need tests. 

I saw in honeycombbeach's journal a quote:
Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.
