Thoughts on this Holiday Season
Miscellaneous Musings from the Technical Director

Monday, 24-Dec-2007 by Donald MacPherson - HydroComp Technical Director

This autumn has been particularly busy, both within HydroComp and also personally. It seems like the Christmas season starts earlier each year. (Stores were selling Christmas decorations the day after Halloween...) By the time we reach the new year, we are more tired and overwhelmed rather than excited and eager to celebrate the holidays.

Then, the actual holidays are upon us, and we remember what is really valuable and important. I was especially reminded of this yesterday through an email greeting from a school-mate and friend, TJ Perotti. TJ writes an annual poem in the spirit of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. This year he wrote about the wonder and magic in a child's perspective. I'll see if I can get him to post his poems on his website - they are well worth the few minutes to read them.

We are very grateful for many blessings this past year. It has been busy, great fun, and very productive. We have welcomed new members of the HydroComp family, and have had a few move on to new phases of their lives. As a wise person once said, "The only constant in life is change".

So, in the spirit of whatever framework your faith may take, our HydroComp family wishes you and your family all the best for this holiday season and a prosperous New Year!
