In New Narrative Parts 1 and 2, I wrote about the opportunity for our Rochester NY Community to actualize our potential as the #1 innovation technology hub, as earned and recognized in Jump-Starting America.

For as long as I can remember, as I enter into the holiday season and coming new year, I’ve found myself wrestling with my own mixed emotional responses. The seeds of this ambivalence were planted long ago in my earliest memories. While others have visions of sugarplums and gift giving, imprinted on me is the scene of my father dressed in a Santa Claus outfit beating my mother mercilessly while he was in a drunken stupor…virtually under the Xmas tree.
