👋 Greetings! 👋

We are already in the last week of July which is nuts! Times goes by when you are having fun. This summer in D.C. has been brutal so far 🥵 . I read last week that there are 58 days until the Fall season?

With these temperatures and humidity, Fall cannot come fast enough. I am back in D.C. for the foreseeable future (for now… 🧳). Got some travel plans for the rest of the year and the upcoming Labor Day weekend in a month👀 Remember folks, use that PTO!
