January 24

After a few months of saying 'hey, we should grab a coffee' or 'let's go out for drinks sometime,' this girl and I finally had dinner (and cocktails) this evening.

I met Shilpa when she agreed to step into the PTA Treasurer's role back in the fall of 2018, and she was a virtual pillar of stability when all of the proverbial crap hit the fan during my Presidency, so I will always be thankful for her.

On top of that, she's super easy to talk to and we have quite a lot in common, so I really enjoyed --and am so grateful for-- our three hours of talk-time tonight.
