A happy new year and stuff.

I had a very interesting and insightful one.

With less than 20 days to depart, I have a lot of invitations on my plate but I am being careful to manage my time and energy.

I have been able to invest a lot of time in my friends and family this time at home. It turns out I am mildly addictive.

No sooner have I departed then another invitation arrives or I get asked back.

I visited some friends on the 30th and I commented as much. K said it must be difficult being so popular.

It is my pleasure.
