Beach Time

As suggested in my posting on taking vacation, I’m following my own advice and staying ahead of my accumulated vacation days by taking the first week of the year off.

A busy guy like me needs some serious downtime to get recharged and to do that, I go to the beach.

I love the beach. It’s away from all the hustle and bustle of daily life. It’s a grand equalizer of people.  And the scenery is always good.

I suppose a mountain wilderness vacation can be just as good, but I’ve got the beach gene instead.  (In a moment of weakness, though, I recently promised my wife a mountain vacation sometime soon…) 

As I recharge this week, I will clear my head and think through the growth strategies for PAS in 2006.  There are some tremendous opportunities ahead and the challenge will be deciding where to put the focus and when.

This week is also a time of reflection, and looking back on 2005, I see no better decision than to join PAS.  The team at PAS has a lot to be proud of – strong business growth, great products, and superb technologies.  And this year, I’m proud to be a part of PAS.

Together, we’re going to make 2006 the best year ever for adding value – both to customers and PAS itself!

Now it’s time to get back to my towel at the beach…
