@evan Fun story, 3 years back I was runner up to be "Pi" in the big Pi Day celebrations here in Markham. Some local council member used their political leverage to get it for their kid instead and it's put me off celebrating ever since. Sure I still go to the parade and support the pizza and baked good sales, but it just all feels like a sham now. Even the Pi costume and the mini cheesecakes they throw at us just don't have the same heft as they used to. #NotMyPiDay
@stefano Hugs and respect to you, friend from-over-the-alps. Time will make these meetings possible again, be it in person or even from remote. You still are a “visible” person in the community. The barista the world wants to hire desperately, but who will not resign from the BSDCafe duties any day. #strong and #smiling barista.
