The time now is 10, 14 p.m. It's between periods of the hockey game. This is episode

0:13.9

number 123, where I sit down sometime during the day, once or twice, or I haven't done three

0:18.8

times, to share what's on my mind with you and you can

0:21.9

share what's on your mind with me by calling or texting 2674546376. I was just sitting going

through Instagram and the thought went through my mind that I don't make photographs. I don't make pictures, I capture moments.
