    Now that Halloween has past and the ghost and goblins are back in the closet for another year, we enter into what some consider the most hectic part of the year.  Work life moves into high speed for the few weeks before the end of the year in order to get those deals done, contracts signed, products moved  or whatever.  Also, the kids activities ramp up with end of year festivals that have to be rehearsed.  And of course, getting ready for family, friends and festivities for the holidays moves to the forefront of concerns.
