Nance asked if the kids were jealous that we went to the concert. Not really. For one we'd offered to take them. For another, they had major plans.
Nu had been excited to attend an online college orientation. They did attend and seem even more oriented and ready now.
At was scheduled to facilitate this zoom webinar on organizing in the workplace with Senator Bernie Sanders and Harini Sudhakar.
I got a kind of shout-out. When talking about the importance of socializing with coworkers, At mentioned how one of his coworkers had been an Indian woman with kids who didn't socialize in the usual way outside of work. But At's "Indian mom" (me!) invited her over to dinner and At was able to get to know her better that way. I guess I'm part of labor history now!
Pic: I couldn't watch the event live because I was at the concert, but At just sent me a recording of the webinar, and this was the moment Senator Sanders thanked At for her work before he left. At's text to the family chat was right--Bernie does pronounce At's Sanskrit name perfectly.

That's quite an experience for At.
Oh my gosh, that is so exciting and awesome! What a proud moment for you and an exciting moment for At! And I am glad online orientation went well for Nu!
What an affirming thing to hear, Jeanie! Thank you!
Thanks!
I'm still pinching myself, Nicole!
Nance--and he's looked the same for the last twenty years?
Thanks, Jenny! (I don't think the Senator was around for that part, but it's sweet of At!)
Thanks, Steph... Hoping things work out.
