What a beautiful gift to read on Christmas morning.
Love every bit of this wonderful and powerful message. The idea of "upon further review." What a great thought that will stay with me a long time.
And that thought about the difference between a 'thing' and a 'gift.' So truly inspiring.
And then you top this off with a family duet -- that was spectacular! I already knew about Susan's artistry on the flute--but who ever knew you played the piano like that!
Amazing!
Thank you for this reminder of the wonder of Christmas, my talented and wise friend...
Thanks so much Jimmy. Your friendship is a gift as well and your words of encouraging always a boost to me and all who know you. Bert to your family for a happy and healthy ‘25 with more time shared especially with us!
Peter, thanks for sharing! I will always remember the difference between a thing and a gift! I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday together in Madrid (-1 daughter) and I hope our paths cross in the coming year! mis mejores deseos Lou
Thanks Lou, Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. Your friendship is a precious gift to me and I look forward to seeing you this coming year one way or the other. Keep on keepin' on! Your wisdom, courage and clarity is much needed in our business and more importantly in our troubled world. Hasta pronto!
As always your newsletter was very thought provoking. I just wish we could reverse the clock and start getting younger.
Christmas in Spain must be quite nice. Always good to experience how other people spend the holidays. I spent a few Christmas’s away from home…..A few of them in a lovely southwestern city named El Paso. My memory of those trips, is a bit fuzzy….,need I say more? Yes, the Sun Bowl. But I do remember the high/low lights.
Hard to believe this century is 25% over. Seems like yesterday we were planning millennium celebrations.
Best wishes again. May 2025 not be as bad as some of us are expecting. (I’m wearing my rose tinted glasses).

Ah yes...El Paso...one year we were singing about "Dreaming of a white Sun Bowl" when we had a freeze...I was never there for the Pat/Brookie wild days but heard some of the more repeatable stories. Time is flying! Kids now all in their 30's and the next generation already among us...It's sobering yet also helps me to realize how precious time is and that I will be more intentional about how I use it. Happy Holidays and thanks as always for your freindship.
