Just wanted to wish everyone Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Kwanzaa and Happy Festivus. Tracy and I are flying home tonight to spend a few days back in the homeland. I'm very much looking forward to the holiday and spending some time at home. I'm actually hoping that it is freezing cold, I'm getting a bit tired of the 40 and 50 degree weather down in DC. I need to be chilled to the core so I know I'm still alive.

Speaking of weather I got a bit of a happy holiday email from our good friend Joe and his wife Courtney today. They thought it would be a good idea to move to Colorado a few months ago.

Talk about your all-time backfires

Anyway, happy holidays again and safe and happy travels.
