In the States, we are celebrating Memorial Day today, a day to honor the fallen men and women who have died while serving our country in the military. We thank you for your service, and for the ultimate sacrifice. We owe our daily freedoms to you, and those who have served beside you.
What a week. It felt like the longest one in creation. We had a COVID-19 scare in our office. I won’t go into details, but it was stressful for all of us as we waited for our coworker’s testing and then results, which he finally got yesterday. THANKFULLY the results were negative.
