Welcome to December! What a year this has been, right? As we prepare to embark on a new year, we should also reflect on the past year. It’s been a busy time (and continues to be) for those of us Head Geeks
who have been traveling. Hopefully, you’ve been able to connect with us in person (or virtually, for those not traveling). I know Tom, Sascha, and Kevin have enjoyed talking to people in person again, and Liz and I are looking forward to a time when we can connect in person as well. I hope everyone gets a chance to rest, enjoy the wonder this time of year brings, share goodwill, and enjoy another year wrapping up. Happy Holidays from the Head Geeks!
