Happy 2011!

How is it possible we rang in a new decade last night? It is amazing to me how fast time flies, even when you're not always having fun.

The past year was an interesting one. There were some terrific times—getting our new dog, Quinn; going to the US Open; seeing some fantastic Broadway shows (American Idiot and Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson rocked); spending time with my amazingly precocious nephews; reuniting with some old, dear friends after a number of years; and relaxing in the Dominican Republic for a few days, to name a few.

Of course, the year wasn't without its difficulties. Luckily, one of the most predominant issues I had—the injury to my hip—was taken care of, thanks to an immensely painful cortisone shot and physical therapy. Being able to exercise again after nearly a year is a fantastic—and exhausting—thing, but it is my hope to be back in shape again sometime soon.

I am excited and hopeful about what 2011 has to offer. While I'm not a fan of resolutions, it's certainly my intention to try and get a better handle on my life in the coming year, physically, professionally and emotionally. Of course, I know there will be some fantastic opportunities and challenges that come my way, and I look forward to facing all of them.

Most importantly, I look forward to spending time with my family and friends, including the 50th anniversary reunion of the summer camp I attended back in the 1980s. That should be interesting!

Happy New Year to you and yours. I wish you everything you wish for yourself!
