Happy Thursday Folks! It's Tom Turkey Day! I like to think of Thursday as "Friday Eve". I also have always felt like it's the last "hard" workday of the week. Maybe some hard stuff happens tomorrow, but the impact is minimized because you have the weekend to look forward to.
Speaking of the weekend, tomorrow begins Spooky Spring Kickoff Weekend. It would be just an understatement to say that we've been looking forward to it.
I remember being in early November, still very much in the Halloween afterglow, but thinking to myself that the missing October/Halloween gut punch would be coming soon, despite the merry festivities. I think it was the very final days of December when I was going through the "stages of grief" and the PFHB's were never very far away. I remember sitting outside at my fire pit, nothing was burning in the ring, I was just sitting on a chair looking at the ring and then it hit me, I really missed the Fall.
And now, Spooky Spring is on the doorstep here to fill that void. I'm going to do my best to mentally pretend I'm back in October again. The decorations here, movie choices, and the weather should make it seamless. Every JOL Day has been building to this. And even when Spooky Spring is over, it's that promise of JOL Day, every one advances us closer to our ultimate goal of being back in The Bers.
Let's get ready to buckle up, friends. I hope all of us find ways to make Spooky Spring special this year!
