As I write this, we in the U.S. are heading into Memorial Day weekend. I have to admit, it’s a bit strange and certainly doesn’t feel like a holiday weekend. Usually, this time of year marks the start of summer with gatherings of family and friends at BBQs, the beach or lake, parades or other social events. But as we all know, the past two months have felt quite surreal. The pandemic has gone on long enough for us to have all experienced a mix of emotions and even physical or financial hardships.
During this period, I have spent much quality time with family, taken many long walks, spring cleaned and completed long-overdue home projects, as well as continuing to produce content for the magazine. I have also sat in on a few industry webinars and had the chance to talk with members of the industry.
