Most of us will have Monday off, and if the weather cooperates this weekend, I’m guessing a lot of you will be inspired to pack a picnic and hit the lush grass in some bucolic field or lakeside retreat. Get out there and enjoy what brief warmth we seem to be blessed/cursed with. Have a great holiday, summer is here! Cheers.
