-she tweeted that she had “turned a corner” after having COVID for the 3rd time. She is a “long-hauler.” She had a set-back on Saturday. She has new meds & a nurse tomorrow but I expect the ER will be in the afternoon. Thank you.
Never thought a newborn Chinese baby girl would be named after me. For years I hosted Chinese high school students. One girl lived w/me for 4 years & after college she married & now she is Mom to “little Patty.”

My grandson wants to know if my 65 year old Remington typewriter can connect to Bluetooth! I told him I did not remember the password.

Professor Gene Nichol for telling the story.
I have heard complaints about tents uptown, but I never hear complaints when I give them away. This man has a new tent and he was so happy.

Shout-out to NC Attorney General,
@JoshStein_
for years of leadership on NC Counties Opioid Litigation & Nationwide settlement. We hope to receive $2M a year for 18 years. Opioids have decimated lives & robbed us of loved ones.

A CLT man released from 20 years in prison recently said, “ I cannot believe the beautiful changes in Charlotte since I was gone but my neighborhood on Beatties Ford looks the same as when I went to prison.”
T. Warshauer: "In the same amount of time we've built Concord Mills, reimagined SouthPark, what have we built in West Clt, on Beatties Ford Rd, on West Blvd.? As we briefly discuss "the what", we have to unpack the why and the how.

This is the bus that passes a student’s home by 1/2 mile forcing him to walk a dangerous 1/2 mile on a busy road w/construction & no sidewalk. Speed limit is 45 but vehicles go faster! Today I walked w/him. His Mom is not happy and neither am I!

Great to have my grandson help me prepare bags to distribute tonight to our uptown homeless neighbors. Ryan did need to sample the chips and cupcakes! LOL

spent $60 M w/little results. He wants better outcomes and a safer school environment for children to learn. Parents want choices w/their tax dollars.
While at a stoplight the driver of the car in front of me bolts out of her car. Opens the rear door, grabs something, runs to my car and says “Pat, here is a coat for the Homeless.” Then she runs back to her car and the light turns green!!

Talked to Robert and Pop at 6th and Tryon. Pop is in a wheel chair and they are bundled up for the night. Robert has a job interview tomorrow. They were grateful for hand warmers.

So I asked my four-year old grandson what he wanted to be when he grows up....he casually answered, “when I apply for the job I will let you know, Grandma.”

The people have a right to speak to the Board publicly at our two meetings. 7-8 who wanted to speak for 3 minutes had their time reduced. They had waited more than an hour. I disagreed with that decision.
#LetThemSpeak
#WeWorkForThem
Our homeless neighbors are so grateful for a kind word and a bite to eat. Most all of them praise God that they are alive and they are hopeful for a job and maybe a place to stay. I feel so blessed when I am with them. One man was a veteran. Talked with two homeless women.
Beautiful candlelight memorial service for the founder of Mothers of Murdered Offspring, Judy Williams! Hundreds came to Marshall Park to honor her legacy.
