Took Laoghaire to pick up his UVA Student ID this week so of course I had to pull up Fran’s student ID from 2004 (ish) and my temporary staff ID from 2022. :)

In the current political climate, it’s important to remember what courage and integrity looks like. RIP Dr. Susan F. Wood.

I worked with Susan at my first real job on the Hill back in 1993-1994. She was an amazing mentor and scholar who really inspired me to be an advocate for women’s health issues. So devastated to hear the new of her death. 😭

Grateful for two nights of Geeks Who Drink trivia during winter break before Fran heads back to Wichita. I missed our weekly visits to Firefly this past fall (Laoghaire had a class Tuesday nights). Hoping for lots of family fun and great food in 2025!
