Happy New Year

Posted on 08:25 by Unknown
Here we are at the end of another year and on the brink of a shiny New Year. Let's take this time to look back on the successes of 2013... and to examine our failures with an eye toward avoiding them in 2014.

Celebrate safely tonight... and let's all meet back here later this week to continue our series on DBA Rules of Thumb!


Happy New Year everybody!
