Your island may be small and confined, or larger and more populated, but this year we’ve been more or less beached and isolated.

In this year unlike any other, my heart goes out to all those personally affected by the pandemic—and that includes most of us.

Warm—and I mean California warm—wishes for a healthy and peaceful New Year. The vaccine is here. A new administration is gearing up to turn our topsy-turvy world right-side-up again.

As I said last year about this time, all life is precious, especially yours. Take care of yourself, and take care of each other.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
