A Little Break

A good reminder

I’m taking a little break over the weekend for my 40th (!) college reunion. And that break is reminding me of all the good reasons to work and make sure our country pulls through the challenges we’re facing.

I adore my college-the place where I learned to think critically. Watching generations of Bates graduates march through the quad, many holding signs of protest for issues like the environment, pro-union movements & choice, reminds me of how lucky I am to have forged my most important views while I studied here. I’m awed by the warmth and the love and the accomplishments of the people I’m surrounded by this weekend. I hope the academic freedom that flourishes here will be around forever.

So I’ll be eating all the lobster and catching up with old friends for the rest of the weekend. But I’ll be back Monday as we start up the next round of January 6 Committee hearings. Questions or thoughts to share? Please leave a comment below.

Remember to take some time for yourself this weekend.

We’re in this together.
