| Dear Associate,/td>

Happy New Year! Do you ever come back to work after a holiday vacation and wonder, “Now what was my job again? What am I suppose to be doing?” Sometimes after a lengthy break I feel comfortably out-of-place at work. Sadly, it’s a short-lived sentiment.
Here we are: a new year, new opportunities and maybe even a new attitude. Right now my work side is completely focused on preparations for the upcoming ATP conference and my home side is looking forward to the return of my eldest son from his two-year stay in Ireland. It will be nice to have the young bloke home again.
If you’re planning on attending ATP next month I look forward to seeing you. I’ll be giving a poster session on “50 ways to cheat.” Excuse me while I, “slip out the back, Jack.”
Best regards,
Don Sorensen
