Into the Weekend - November 10th, 2023

Happy Friday! It’s Veterans Day weekend and to the Veterans reading this: thank you for your service. In this week’s note, the theme for events is Veterans Day. Though, there is always plenty to do in the North Texas area. Also included in this note is my latest podcast (another fantastic listen!), lifestyle tips, and market musings. Whatever you're up to this weekend, I hope it's a great one! -Matt
