Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another rip-roaring installment of This Week in Spring! My family and I are basically self-quarantined for the meanwhile, trying to avoid the terrifying COVID-19 pandemic that's ravaging communities around the world. This pandemic is bad because it's leaving countless thousands of sick or dead. It also means that it's harder for me to get on planes to meet people.

I'm disappointed I won't be able to - and haven't been able to - make these shows. But, there's always something to be learned and this week is no different. It was a busy week in Spring indeed! Let's get to it!
