Happy Friday, everyone! Pretty much the last working Friday of the year. Next Friday doesn’t really count for much. It’s a blow-off day. I plan to throw the Out of Office up next Thursday around noon and be on cruise control until the New Year.

I just watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation for the first time this holiday season. I’ve seen it a million times, of course, but I had a moment of zen about Clark Griswold and his quest for the perfect holiday. The more we curate our lives to be perfect, the more we open the door to chaos. Just like the unexpected chaos of the squirrel scene, it reminds us that life's most memorable moments often come spontaneously. Once you learn to laugh off the chaos in good company, you’ve achieved enlightenment, one eggnog mug and full shitter at a time.
