Well, hello my dear friends. It is such a great honor this week to be able to write about something else other than who died. It is just wonderful to write about something you can smile at for a change. Before I begin, I want to thank everyone who sent cards, flowers, emails, condolences and notes, which I am still receiving for the passing of my daughter Karen Atkinson last month. I appreciate you and much love to each one of you.

Now for the fun things to do this weekend. The Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival is this weekend with a Virtual Experience featuring Warren Wolf; Sean Jones; Dick Smith; The 3 Divas Trio; Paul Carr; Christie Dashiell; Tedd Baker; Allison Crockett; Allyn Johnson; Josh Bayer Trio; The Eric Byrd Trio; Nasar Abadey and Supernova; and De- Andrey Howard and Collector’s Edition.
