If 2020 was a year full of twists and hairpin turns, 2021 is proving to be a worthy successor — at least when it comes to paid leave.
There are a lot of news articles out there but I thought a quick recap of where we are (and where we are expecting to go) would
Over the last week, while many of us were trying to catch up on our stay-cations, Congress passed and the President signed The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Applications Act.
It’s a 5,593-page appropriations bill so I’m going to guess that you haven’t read it.

Thanksgiving is now in the rear view mirror. Just a month to go until we turn the page to 2021.

And my oldest daughter hasn’t even started her first day of college next week.
(Proud Dad aside: She’s headed to WPI next week as a freshman where she wants to study aerospace engineering!)

Conneticut’s Travel Advisory Quarantine has been among the most confusing of the orders to arise from the pandemic. No doubt that it was not intended to be that complicated.
But the last few weeks have had change after change made to the rules. And then came the announcement last week that Rhode Island was on
