It's Christmas Day, and a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone out there.

I sincerely hope none of you are reading this today and you are getting a well deserved break from work, but I'm sure a few of you are checking email. I'm also sure a very few of you have to work on this day, for one reason or another. Hopefully things aren't broken and that your organization compensates you for this day.

I'm taking the break with family, enjoying time at home. A quiet Christmas for us, perhaps with some hiking or at least a few hours at the dog part, but mostly some games and fun. Chores, of course, because all the animals need to eat and there are lots of horses at the ranch.

Tomorrow, it's back to work, but for now, my best wishes to you all.
