November 2, 2023

Good morning. Welcome to November and fall is definitely upon us (winter in some places already as they battle snow).

We are three weeks from Thanksgiving and 53 days until Christmas. The "silly season" is upon us as surely as fall/winter weather.

Staff accordingly. Pay attention to signs of stress overload. Lead from the front.

Stay safe!

Lt. Frank Borelli (ret.)
