Happy 2018 to everyone
A new millennium joke is going around. A fellow is in an existential crisis. He tells his friend: At times like these, I wonder what I have done with my life. His friend answers: You've had a great life. It's just that you were on your phone.
Don't we all know someone like that? Let's face it, we have all been that person.
Here it is 2018 and as we begin the new year, let's resolve to engage in the world around us at least as much as the phone in our hands. Our colleagues, our families, our friends — they all could use the best we have to give.
Thank you for your work this year. We are looking forward to a fantastic New Year.
