It feels good to wrap up a long holiday weekend as we honor those that lost their lives serving our country. We have been living in a period some refer to as the “Long Peace,” which began in 1945.

As I try to wrap my head around it, both professionally…

It’s August and the summer is wrapping up faster than my first-round exit at the Steamboat Tennis Championships last weekend. Normally, I would complain but after months of isolation from the shelter/safe-in-place orders, it’s just good to be outside.

It may seem like we will be in lock-down forever, but historically, pandemics are usually gone…
