Happy New Year!

Whew… I’m barely getting this one in under the wire, as it’s only New Year’s Day around here for another five minutes or so. Anyway, I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous New Year. After a relatively* uneventful day of travel, I’m exhausted and looking forward to a long weekend of hanging out with my wife and kids before getting back to grind. How about you?
*Note: I said ‘relatively’ because, as I noted over on Twitter, we shared a plane ride home with Rob Van Winkle. Oh, and we also had the privilege of waiting just under an hour for our luggage. With four exhausted kids. Fun.
