It’s that time of year again where we are normally putting together the holiday letter that we send out with cards – but as we were drafting the letter for 2022, we realized that there wasn’t much to say – making the whole point of the letter (letting people know what we’ve been up to) kind of moot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
