I hope the New Year is greeting each and every one of you with great possibility and a sense of rejuvination from the holiday. Andy and I spent a wonderful time in western Canada with all of my relatives and skied some of the soon-to-be Olympic runs at Whistler-Blackcolm! There was much activity but also much-needed relaxation.

A quick announcement from me this time, just to let you know about two Open End concerts  coming up in about 10 days in Syracuse and in New York. We'd love to see you there. Mike and Melia will be out from Seattle, of course, and our events are always a lot of fun with lots of anticipation for what will happen in improvisation!

All my best for a great 2010!
