Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm trying to wind down some threads and take some vacation with my family. It's going to be an amazing time, indeed! But that doesn't stop the deluge of novelties and news in the wide world of Springdom, so we've got a lot to cover this week. Let's get to it!
