I am really loving the buildings and bridges here in Albany. This is a really cool city that I wish I had the time to explore more. It would be a great place to take an urban sketching tour. But alas, we are here on a mission, and now that that objective is complete we will be returning home early tomorrow morning.

The only picture I currently have from my commencement ceremony is the Snapchat selfie I sent to my daughter for our streaks. It was nice celebrating this milestone. The last time I walked the stage was in 1997, a week after we buried my dad. This was much less bittersweet. I’m glad I took the trip out to celebrate with my fellow graduates.

Are you as fascinated with old bridges as I am? What’s your favorite bridge?
