CavRisk 2013/2014 Transition

For the first time in its 7 1/2 year history, the next Cav would fall on Christmas Day. So we'll be skipping that edition, and picking back up on Wednesday, January 8, 2014 at Michael Stack's place.

May your Holidays be warm and wonderful, and we'll see y'all next year!

It's also helpful that he gives each featured post helpful context.
