Happy Fathers Day to all great dads, grand dads and big brother, and Happy Sunday to you and yours again ,
Back in the days I would tell my 'Dream Team' its a brand new day, brand new opportunity... because that's what this is, another great opportunity.
In today's abridged edition I share with you two quick notes,
- The 13th annual Charles Town Maroon Festival, coming up this week
- And pics and clips from my recent anniversary staycation.
Which should I start with?
Ok let's go with the anniversary! :-)
June 4th, my wife and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at the adorable Grand Palladium hotel!
And although a private affair, I made sure to curate some of my best pics and clips to share with you.
So here is it my friend...

And a few days ago, I had the privilege of speaking with Acting Colonel, Marcia Douglas, of the Charles Town Maroons in Portland, via a live YouTube broadcast.
They are having their 13th annual Maroon conference and festival this week, June 23 and 24, and maaaan, albeit virtual... it promises to be a riveting affair.
If you missed that live broadcast of the Preview, please watch the Replay.
Here is the video, embedded below.
She talks about all the wonderful events they'll be having over the two days.
And yes!
I'll be bringing the conference and festival (singing, drumming, poetry, cultural presentations, charges, etc.) to you over those two days - LIVE via my YouTube channel!
I'm so excited!
So if not yet subscribed to my YouTube channel, please ensure you do so now and hit the bell notification so you can be automatically notified when we go live!
That's it for today!
I look forward engaging with you on Wednesday.
Blessings.
