Monday News & Notes from FutureTrack

Can anyone else believe it’s actually Monday? My mind is still in Kentucky, and I know I’ll be reliving the weekend throughout the coming week.

National Holiday: Happy May Day! Historically, today has been a day to mark and celebrate the changing of the seasons. Later, it became recognized as International Workers’ Day in the 19th-century as the labor movement pushed for worker’s rights and an eight-hour workday.
