Yo! It's the unofficial start of Summer 2023
Friends,
We have arrived at the unofficial start of summer — here in the US it is Memorial Day weekend.
As usual for three day weekends, I’m taking a needed break from the intro. The last thing you want to do is read some guy’s rants and pontifications about sh*t like he is yelling at clouds. No doubt you’ve got BBQs to fire up, yard work to do, friends and family to see, kids sports tournaments to watch and parades to attend.
Don’t fret though — I’ll be back at it next week with some new material for you.
For those of you dying for a preamble, I’ll offer up one from a few years ago where I give a detailed account about how my wife and I got stuck in a mosh pit and almost got ourselves killed. Really.
Check that out or just read the articles below — some good stuff there as well.
And remember, have a meaningful day.
XOXO
Dave
