Happy holidays from sunny southern California!  As warm of a winter's it's been so far on the East Coast and in Europe, I'm looking at 70/21 degrees weather here.

I know I've been light on the content lately, but have been occupied with lots of things.  One of the things I struggle with is how to write about my work without making potentially career limiting statements about my colleagues or clients.  If you have some good ideas, please put them in my sock instead of the obligatory lump of coal.

On another tangent, in the spirit of the holidays, I would encourage my high falutin' investment bankers, hedge fund friends to find your inner Ebenezer Scrouge, open up the gold vault (yes, we all know you had a great year), and share with much less fortunate, be it your charity of choice or your favorite school.  Trust me, you'll feel better about yourselves when you look at your situation in the perspective of normal folks, not the guy down the hall who got a fatter bonus check than yours.
