Happy April, everyone. Spring has sprung and the sakura are blooming, so you know what that means! . . .

. . . I fell ill last week. Nothing serious, but I did lose my voice for a couple of days, which is one of the reasons I haven’t posted much so far this month. The other reason has to do with the fact that I am training my new assistant, Shaun, who just started helping me this past week. If you want to know a little bit more about Shaun, then you’ll want to see this month’s Subscriber Exclusive video, where I introduce him and grill him with some “get to know you questions.”

While I get Shaun up to speed (and my voice back in order), let’s open up the April open thread. As usual, Corbett Report members are invited to log in and discuss breaking news and current events, spring plans, lofty ideas and goals or anything else that happens to be on your mind.
