Good morning <<First Name>>,
How are you doing?
It's been a minute - I was with Alex's family in Italy and then through Malta - with sub-optimal wifi.
I wanted you to also know - I'm focusing in on travel and assisting with trips so if you need a travel expert, I'm here!
Below I'm sendinglots to catch up on - including honoring the first trans & non-binary athlete to win a medal (above) - as part of Canada's women's soccer team.
Stay safe out there,
Ashton
P.S. Do you know trans children or parents of trans kids who are headed back to school? The US Government created this video to give them support.

Ambassador James Hormel passed away on Aug 13 in San Francisco. As the first openly gay Ambassador appointed, he went through an arduous confirmation process, which ultimately failed as Clinton appointed him during a Congressional recess in 1999 to Luxembourg. Heir to Hormel Family Foods, he used his wealth to support a variety of LGBTQ causes, including being a co-founder of the Human Rights Campaign. He is survived by his husband, Michael, as well as 5 children, 14 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren.

COVID update: now 1 in 8 Americans have contracted COVID - and one in 500 have died. Yet, we are allowed to visit other countries - and anyone else is banned from entry, unless on some type of essential travel (and the land-border restrictions were renewed through Sept 21 for Canada and Mexico). Here's the COVID case map of Europe - cases are definitely higher in places where we all want to travel! Inside the US, the courts are providing a last line of defense against Governors, like Abbott in Texas (who contracted COVID himself) to ensure mask mandates stay in place.
