Whether one views this Inauguration Day as the beginning of the end or an altogether new beginning is, of course, a matter of perspective. At TSP, today marks our<\/em> five-year\u00a0anniversary, which we view as an opportunity to eat cake for breakfast. And, one might say, the end of our beginning.
