Happy Juneteenth.

And a fine, happy Juneteenth to you! It's a big thing in Texas. Not so much in Maryland.

I can imagine! It's Texas where this date meant a true change. I never heard of Juneteenth as a child growing up in New England, either. California also mostly hasn't heard of it (web browsers still squiggle spell-correct about it, and I said happy Juneteenth in a meeting today and got a table full of blank looks).

It's a great day to have a birthday! :-)

[cjsmith]

Ooo, I hadn't realized! Happy birthday (now belated) to you, and many happy returns!

[zahraa]

Indeed!

I'm glad I finally heard about Juneteenth once I moved west. I had never heard of it in my childhood growing up in New England.

I celebrated by telling Sheeyun what Juneteenth is.

[cjsmith]

Oh how nifty! How did Sheeyun react?

[amaebi]

He seemed pleased to know.

[cjsmith]

Nice!

My hat is off to you. I don't feel I know you *well* but from here I see the care and thoughtfulness you put into things -- including parenting and relationships -- and I think it's super.

Golly, thanks!
