Slow Time

My apologies for having failed to post anything over the past three weeks. Like many folks, I've been caught up with the holidays, visiting family out of town and having family visit here, as well as the general end-of-year rush.

The upcoming year promises many challenges: a sluggish economy, budget deficits, job layoffs and other difficulties that we will likely all face. But I also believe that with great challenges come great opportunities.

During difficult economic times we have opportunities for continuing education, career re-training that leads to career changes, government working to minimize waste and maximize the utility of hard-earned taxpayer money, among others. Times are no doubt tough, but if we work together and weather this recession we can all come out better on the other side, with greater opportunity for everyone.

These are just a few thoughts...

The real purpose of this post is to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or whatever holiday one observes. Have a safe and happy new year.
