Happy Friday from Vermont. I’m here for my event tonight and have some friends coming to stay with me so I’m really excited, we haven’t had many guests up here yet. I was thinking about the concept of home, and how for the first time in my life, Rhode Island doesn’t feel like home anymore to me. It’s still home, but not in the way Woodstock is, when I come here, it feels like home. I don’t know if that makes any sense but it’s a shift I noticed in how I feel when I’m in each place. Something I’ll eventually talk more about when I can figure out how to describe it, lol. In the meantime, wishing all of you a great weekend, wherever you are.
Here’s the best of the week…
