Pounding out three blog entries a week since early July takes a toll on the old creative juices.  I appreciate the discipline it has instilled in my writing, but none the less – all work and no play makes Jack a dull writer, as it were.

I’ll be taking a few weeks off until the New Year to recharge my batteries.  I hope each of you also has the chance to take some down time during the holidays to spend with friends and family.  Enjoy the season.  Drink some eggnog (if you must), listen to Christmas carols, eat heartily, and start thinking about all of those resolutions you’ll be making on January 1^st and breaking by January 7^th.

May all of your Christmas gifts be the correct size and your cupboard be filled with AA batteries.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
