Hey All,
I hope everyone had a terrific holiday weekend and that your first day back to work (or whatever your daily grind may be) hasn’t been too horrible, as I know it’s always hard getting back to “normal” after a holiday weekend.
The news for today is rather short, but there are a few good things to share with everyone:
