Good morning, everybody.

Welcome to another episode of Hawk blogger mornings.

I am Brian M. Hauser.

And it is not as nice of a Tuesday morning here in the Pacific Northwest.

The showers have returned.

So hopefully they will be brief,

but, you know, it's looking like, it's looking like the typical spring here in Seattle.

You get a little sun and then you get a little rain and we'll just push on through. I hope

everybody had a wonderful Mother's Day this weekend. And I hope all the dads are getting ready for Father's Day

coming up here in a few weeks. In our household, this is a very busy time of year because my wife's

birthday is the beginning of May. And then Mother's Day is the next weekend.

And then my parents both have birthdays at the end of May.

And then I have a birthday in June.

And then Father's Day is, I think, the week after or the week before I can never remember.

Then our anniversary, our wedding anniversary is the end of June.

It is a very celebratory couple of months.

It's also like, it's kind of like a kid that has their birthday on Christmas or

Hanukkah or whatever, you know, holiday you celebrate.

And, you know, you kind of feel yeah you don't quite get the full goodness of

a singular birthday when it's kind of stuck around some of these other holidays and you get a

little a little bit of fatigue from all the celebrating but it is a cool time of the year nonetheless

getting warmer overall.
