Happy Memorial Day, readers.

It is, first and foremost, a day to remember all the great Americans who gave their lives to protect the future of this country. So hang your flag, raise a toast and pour one out.

But it's also a day to celebrate — and that's especially true this year, after 15 months in which "things worth celebrating" have been in short supply.

Maybe you're having a big cookout today. Maybe you're not. Regardless, at some point this summer — probably June or July, according to most state legislators — coronavirus restrictions will ease and we will all re-emerge, like bears from their slumber, into polite society.

To help you readjust, we recently put together a series sharing tips and recommendations on grooming, fitness, getting dressed in something besides sweatpants (but also sweatpants), how to manage your stress and mental health, dating, concert and bar etiquette, and more. It's called The Great Re-Emergence, and we hope you can get some use out of it.

Regardless, we hope you get to spend the day with people you like, handshakes, hugs and all (assuming you can do those things safely).

Stay handsome, stay cool and enjoy your Memorial Day,

Your friends @ InsideHook
