Win­ter Va­ca­tion

by Elio

As is our cus­tom, we take a two week va­ca­tion at this time of year, de­served or not. We'll see you again in the new year, start­ing on Jan­u­ary 6th. Please ac­cept our wishes for a fine Hol­i­day Sea­son. May cheer­ful thoughts of the Small Things dance in your head.
