Good bye 2013. You. Were. So. Amazing! You were so worthy of being
celebrated. You were a year of transition and transformation, but, then again,

of losses, of worries and sadnesses, I made sure you were a constant
Best Wishes to All in this New Year (even if you don't recognize
this as an official start of a New Year -- you know who you are)!
Make sure you write down your resolutions for the new year, such
as:
(1) Lose weight and exercise more
(2) Read those journal articles/books that you've been stacking

I thought it was odd as well. But I assume they get their PR
advice from Don Draper types from western firms.
