It is the dawn of a new week and our team has been busy with a series of notations and views of the week. It has been quite a busy weekend and our team is on the prowl with the daily watch #hashtags. But, it was also a bit of a sad weekend as I begin this week though in my own "corner" with a personal thought on the passing of Nancy Reagan. The Former First Lady passed away from congestive heart failure this weekend at the age of 94.
