Long weekend, short intro.If you are in the United States, you are probably looking forward to a long, three day weekend ahead that marks the unofficial beginning of summer.This year, this comes with much more significance as in most places mask restrictions are being lifted. So not only is it start of summer, it is really also the unofficial re-opening of public life. In anticipation of this "return to normalcy" I thought I would skip my usual intro this week.Way back from 2017, here it is: a groove, slightly transformed. Just a little return to the norm.... >> the first Memorial Day FoD. And if you are looking to catch up on some more recent preambles, check out the three more popular ones from 2021: here, here and here.As we usual do here at this time of year, I'm re-sharing the most clicked on articles up to this point for those who might have missed them the first time around.Finally, please read the "Last Word" and take just a few minutes to remember why we have this long weekend in the first place.Have a good break -- you deserve it.
