I was always planning for a Monday return from SSAWW in Philly, so I appreciated knowing Sat AM that my flight was canceled. The one-way train ticket will get me back to Boston in time to get my car from the airport for my string of meetings. Meanwhile, good SSAWW energy = my traveling companion.

I didn’t take many pictures, but I caught up with so many good people at SSAWW yesterday. There’s more to come today, but yesterday was full of celebration! I will name only a few examples.

What a joy to return to SSAWW in Philadelphia! We gathered at this exact location in 2015, and this is the organization’s 25th anniversary! I’m seeing so many people who have been on this intellectual journey with me in countless ways! Just one example: the fabulous Dr. Jane Carr!!!
