Spent the weekend in and around Albany NY.

I admit I prefer having him there, though, in case a wall falls on me or something.

Oh, completely! When I was a kid we would stop and check them out on road trips, but my mother used to freak out if I went in in without either her or my dad, if she let me in at all. My grandparents lived in the tiniest shitwater town that seemed completely full of abandoned barns, etc, so when the adults were visiting, we would all go out and play in these things. Now I can barely believe we we used to swing from the rafters, jump on the floor boards and rummage around in the coal cellars. Kids.....
It's awesome that D is so supportive. It helps when you're trying to get that perfect shot.
