Welcome to the winter.  What a gorgeous moon we have had this week!  The good news about the first day of winter is that the days start getting longer...

Keeping things very short and sweet this morning, I just want to thank EVERYONE for EVERYTHING.  My family, friends, clients and students have spoiled me rotten this season and I am thankful and appreciative beyond words.  While some think I get cheated by having a birthday in the middle of the holiday season, I think it is extra special to celebrate amidst the magic. I had a great time opening up cards and packages this morning.  Thanks Arlene, Carole and Dolores for your packages, which sat on my birthday chair till this morning.  I love everything!!!! Thanks, Mitch for everything, but mostly for your kind heart and for being such a big man.  I love you more than you can possibly believe.

Thanks, too, to Ruth and George for bringing me into this world 53 years ago.  The journey is awesome.  Thanks to all of you for being in my life.  Much love....
