“Jar of Awesome” Day 1

Saturday, 5/19/18
Awesome today:
1. Taking James on a play date with Kavi and getting his know his cool parents, Premila and Saj. 
2. Mascia Music Festival in the rain. Seeing all of James & Merryn’s teachers, and many friends. Good music; amazing empanadas made by Megan’s husband.
3. A pop-in at Carol & David’s cocktail party where they made “fascinators” in honor of the royal wedding.
4. The Royal Wedding. Meghan Markle, fellow NU grad, married Prince Harry. Black American Episcopal bishop spoke—love is the way...if we could harness and use love we could change humanity...in as dramatic a way as did the discovery of how to control and use fire. Cello player, also incredible. 19 years old. Also Black. Black choir, and another member of the clergy. To be noted—the historical significance of a biracial bride with a Black Mom who descended from people enslaved by the British empire. Also loved the carriage ride through the streets of Windsor on a picture-perfect day.
5. Dinner with my great friend Catherine. Fun conversation, good for the soul.
