Spring is in full swing here in the U.S. Northeast, with all its joys (warmer weather, longer days), and its pitfalls (allergy season, that groundhog that chews on my doorframe to my back patio door).

Seven Seas Pubwatch April 2023
Welcome, April! Between a new strain of COVID-19 that has a threatening name (Arcturus!?
