St. Patrick's Day 2023

17 March 2023: Today slipped by quickly in many ways. Spent most of it at the Virginia Forum sessions, which seemed to go very well. Also had lunch with Hannah, which always moves a day way up on the "good" meter. Still feeling a bit under the weather (frustrating!), but happy to be settled at home with corned beef in the oven and some good TV to watch. St. Patrick's Day twenty years ago--especially on Friday night--might have looked very different, but it's okay to be long done with all of that. 

Today is Bing's birthday (he'd be 21!) and it's been nice to think about him on and off today. Facebook "memories" helped, as did telling Amy the story of the time he got stuck behind the fridge. Hannah said Jo's got a lot of his spirit, which seems spot-on to me. 

So a quiet break overall (with the weekend still to go), but I can't complain too much--and a lot to be grateful for.
