Hello, hello!

• To kick things off, here is a little fun in Toledo from the Grinch a.k.a. Danny Woodcock. 

• It's been shown repeatedly that employees are generally as productive working 30-32 hours per week as working 45-50. Looking into that hypothesis again, the distributor of Lipton's tea, Dove soap, and Ben and Jerry's ice cream announced it would test shorter working hours for all its employees in New Zealand.

• If you or someone you know is a Pokemon person, check out Juniper's Lab. This projects sounds like it will be great when it launches.

• This article right here made me appreciate living in an old home with radiators for this winter. Time to crank them up!

• Have you ever wondered why so many old Christmas cards had mushrooms on them? I have. I don't think I've ever seen a red and white mushroom in my life. Do mushrooms grow in the winter? In the snow? Is that what makes the reindeers fly? I have so many questions about this.

• As the year is wrapping up, what is one book you've read this year that you would recommend to others? Hit reply and let me know.

I hope December has been treating you well so far. I'm looking forward to brighter days now that we've eclipsed the winter solstice.

Until next time,

Adam
