Official 2014 Blog Post

After a tumultuous 2013, here we are in 2014.

Health was not so great in 2013, so 2014 can only be better.  Last year began with some serious illness, followed by knee problems that worsened due to a fall on a city street.  Despite that, and even with the economy as miserable as it is, it was a good business year.

After 21+ years of having an office in a suburb of NYC, it was time to close that down.  It had become more of a storage facility than a working office. It was roomy as could be, but in many ways no longer necessary.  It took three months of concerted effort to go through everything.  That meant deciding what to keep, what to toss, what to give away, and even to sell a few items.  It was also quite physically demanding a process.

Now, 23.5 years after having moved to Rockland County, the ties there are cut.  Back in NYC, where indeed it all began. 

Who knows, maybe this will be the year of more than one single post on this blog.  There are other occasional Deanland bloggy sorts of outposts (tumblr, etc.).  And there's the main deanland blog.  Perhaps this will be a year of more writing.

Hope so!
