Lisa and Shelby

23 May 2026: Two highlights from today: 1) Lunch with Lisa, a friend who worked at Shepherd forever ago but then moved on to the working for the US Patent Office. I hadn't seen her in so long, but we had kept in contact via social media. Carrie and James were there, too, along with Lisa's friend from Baltimore. Just a very chill and fun time, reminding me how cool Lisa is and how lucky I am that we are still in touch.

2) Shelby's graduation party. I've known this kid since she was little. Her mom is one of my favorite people. They have been through so much and are still so close. To see her now be a nurse--it's really is special.
