Good morning from Maine where the sun is shining over a crisp winter morning. It finally feels like winter here. I have a special edition of the week-in-review to share before I head out for a few runs on the local ski mountain.

This week I took some time off to visit family and friends and to ski. I hope that all of you who were on school vacation had a restful week too.

In December I had the privilege to speak at events in Massachusetts and in Kansas. This month I’ll be going to the FETC and BETT conferences. If you’re going to be at either one, please say hello.

2015 was a year of highs and lows for me. I chronicled many of those highs and lows in a post on Worms In the Fridge.
