Good morning and GOOD FRIDAY!
Now you know what I’m thinking. Right out of the gate, no question. Yep, It’s a bold greeting but it’s also a great and fabulous greeting that I’m Thankful For.
Recently I attended the MATS and encountered many of our industry friends and enjoyed some great camaraderie. I also introduced the show to some friends for a first-time visit. I think they’re already planning next year’s event. I am sure there were some of you there that I didn’t get to see, and I hate that. The event is huge. This was a great time to see what all the manufacturers and vendors have to offer, talk about the new items and ideas on the horizon and to reflect on all the changes in the business. My first visit there in the early 90’s. Yes, that was long ago and that’s a lot for an old guy to think about!
Now back in the grind here at Mid Eastern with all the changes in the works. I know, you didn’t think I would write without using the “change” word. We’re excited about it and moving in it. The season is also changing. The pollen here is about to subside, at least I can be extremely hopeful for that. Spring is here. Some vacations are in play. Traffic is on the rise. Every time I drive a distance I’m thinking, how could it possibly rise but it does!
This weekend is the greatest of celebrations! Be Ready. Be Careful. Be kind. Hmmmm’, Be kind, perhaps that’s the real root message. Take care of your family, neighbors, friends, and yourselves. Drive safe!
Happy Easter!
All the best!
