business news in context, analysis with attitude

Monday is celebrated as Memorial Day here in the US, the de facto beginning of summer and a day that seems to take on a great deal more meaning at a time when so many American soldiers are putting their lives at risk on foreign soil. It also is a holiday – which means that I’ll be taking the day off to spend some time with the family, attend the local parade, cook a few burgers on the Weber, and maybe catch up on some sleep.

MNB will be back Tuesday morning, May 28.

Have a great weekend.

Sláinte!!
