Security Briefing – July 13th

G’morning folks!

I’m feeling much better this morning than I have in about 2 weeks. Some know I’ve been battling a well reported virus and it’s really beaten me up. I seem to have turned a corner and for that I’m thankful. Also, thank you to those have expressed and concern and wished me well. I appreciate those thoughts.
/personal note

Make it a great day.

Signed,

The Intern
