Coming attractions -- week of May 20

Memorial Day is coming, and Memorial Day is the unoffical beginning of the summer vacation season. It should therefore come as no surprise that this week you can observe National Safe Boating Week (May 19 to May 25) or Recreational Water Illness and Injury Prevention Week (May 21 to 27).

The coming summer also explains National Backyard Games Week (May 21 to 28).

The connection between National Medical Transcriptionist Week and Memorial Day is less obvious... and probably non-existent.

But if you don't like the suggestions for any of the individual days this week, you can always celebrate one of these.
