Dear friends,

Yesterday was Christmas, and we are but six days from 2013. I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season, enjoying some time off, time with family and friends and your favorite coffee place. Priorities.

I’ll be heading to the east coast tomorrow evening, and will be gone through the New Year, so postings here may be sparse. In fact, there’s a good chance I’ll be in New York City on New Year’s Eve (not Times Square, because I value my sanity), so think of me fondly as I get swept up with 8 million of my closest friends. If you don’t hear from me by January 4th, send a search party.

Until then, be safe, be happy and well.

Here’s to you!
