Good morning from Maine where the leaves are beginning to change, but the heat and humidity have returned. Those are the hallmarks of the beginning of school year around here. I hope that everyone has had a great start to the new school year.
Lately, my friends have been reminding…err forcing… me to take time to do fun things. I think this is a reminder that we can all use from time-to-time especially as we head into the fall and off the commitments that come with school year. I’m going to take some time to go fishing this weekend. I hope that you all get time to do something fun this weekend too.
