Be sure to stop by the supply room while you are in the office and steal a stack of blue line tablets and a lifetime supply of yellow highlighers.

Not sure about travel yet. My wife and I had planned to take a trip to Houston, TX to see the space museum and visit some of my wife's family in TX. The trip for this year has been postpone due to the CCP virus.
