We need something uplifting in our lives as we launch a new month!

1.  Parts of the country will start to reopen as states slowly relax their stay-at-home orders.  The hope is that if it’s done with enough planning and care, we won’t see a massive resurgence of the virus.

2.  Some big specials are going down this month.  There’s The Call to Unite, a 24-hour global livestream featuring tons of celebrities starting TONIGHT at 8:00 P.M. Eastern.

And for everyone missing sports right now, NBC is airing a virtual Kentucky Derby tomorrow, featuring all 13 horses ever to win the Triple Crown facing off in a computer-generated race.

3.  For high school and college seniors missing out on a graduation ceremony this year, there are a couple salutes to the Class of 2020 going down this month.

4.  The new streaming service HBO Max launches on the 27th.  It’ll include all the shows and movies on HBO, plus new original programming, and reruns of popular shows like “Friends”“The Big Bang Theory”, and “South Park”.


5.  And finally the holidays.  The big ones are Cinco de Mayo, which is on Tuesday . . . Mother’s Day on Sunday the 10th . . . and Memorial Day on the 25th.
