Hey, all! We ended up taking a few days off to enjoy the long weekend and allow some news to accumulate. Aside: Bringing back news and notes in May was a tremendous idea, Trev. In any event, we’re back for the foreseeable future to keep the news churning for all you loyal readers.
Here is what's in the news for Tuesday, May 23, 2017:
