When I was a young lawyer I suffered badly from holiday blues. As I've matured such year end blues have ebbed.

I cannot explain why I had them or how and why they have eroded.

What I do know is that 2013 was a challenging, successful and happy year and that 2014 portends as well.

I want to wish all of my readers (and my numerous loyal commenters) an early "Happy New Year" and look forward to more of the same in the coming year!
