I don't think I have ever worn or would wear white pants, but in years past, I probably would have started with some, attempted, humor on how Memorial Day weekend means its socially acceptable to wear them until Labor Day. This year, with all the pain we're experiencing, we solemnly, with respect and appreciation, remember all those who gave their lives for our country.

What we are experiencing is a health crisis that has led to an economic crisis . Just like the audience in Network didn't need Howard Beale to tell them things were bad , I doubt anyone reading this email needs me to highlight such facts unless it's as a cathartic scream.

However, there is some hope for a vaccine ; thresholds for reopening and virtual meetings to be had. You can read about those and other items of potential use and interest below. 

If you have questions about any of those items, I will try my best to answer and direct you as best I can. No matter what, stay safe, remember that alternate side parking will be suspended this upcoming week, order directly from restaurants, and enjoy the unofficial start of summer at a safe distance.
