Hello,

Summer has officially begun this weekend, and traditionally it is the
time for travel, vacation, and trips to the great outdoors.  We'd like
to hear from you where you might be heading this summer.  National
Park? Museum? Stay-Cation? Conferences? Safe travels!

Cheers,

--Marsee Henon and Jon Johns
