May will provide better statistics about national unemployment rates and future plans for businesses.
Worried you're starting to unravel? Over the weekend, a man who had been kicked out of a McDonald's for not wearing a mask threw a rock through the window, stole some underwear from a Walmart, then surrendered to police.
If you didn't do that...keep up the great work!
Meanwhile I spent last weekend trying to keep murder hornets out of my safety mask while shoveling snow.
And in case you were wondering, the kids are doing great at their new schools at the North and South Pole. At least we assume so since we haven’t heard from them. No news is good news.
Be well. Stay safe. Stay sane!

More than 25 million Americans were laid off in April, and that’s just the official count. Unofficially, some economists estimate that more than
52 percent
of Americans under the age of 45 have lost jobs, hours, or been furloughed. The unemployment rate could eventually top
30 percent
. That means everyone - from lawyers to waiters, software engineers to carpenters to marketers - will be affected.
