Into The Weekend - May 5th, 2023

TGIF. After a busy week, I'm looking forward to the weekend. Not that I need an excuse for a margarita, but with today being Cinco de Mayo I'm particularly looking forward to a refreshing beverage. In addition to Cinco de Mayo, there are some other neat events this weekend, plus my latest podcast episode is out - you'll definitely want to listen to this one! Whatever you're up to this weekend, I hope it's a great one! -Matt
