On a happier note it’s Easter Weekend and I hope you enjoy some downtime with family and friends. The weather is finally turning a nice springy corner here in Ottawa so I intend to get outside during the day, do some yard work and probably hit the driving range. The evenings will be reserved for a few craft beer and watching my Ottawa Senators in the playoffs. I hope you enjoy whatever you have planned…
