Seasons Greetings 2015

It’s that time of year again team.

Let me take this opportunity to wish all you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

 

For those of you deployed to foreign lands, or working to protect from themselves, please know that you will be in our thoughts.

For the rest of you, stay safe, take it easy and enjoy the time off with loved ones (or ones you’d like to *ahem* love).

 

It’s been a tough year for me professionally, which has severely cut into time I can dedicate towards being a cool-guy on the internet. Hopefully, my luck and fortunes improve somewhat.

Despite everything, it’s still been a good year.

 

Salutations to  you all!
