It was funny when one of you wryly remarked when I sent a similar summary at the end of last year, that you might as well ignore me the whole year, since this summary was going to arrive during the last week in December anyway!
Having acknowledged that, I will admit that the give and take during the course of the year is incredibly energizing and I am delighted we have continued the thrust and parry.
Happy New Year and best wishes for a fantastic 2014!
