Ah Yes, I Remember It Well...

I am back from my "vacation". What is a vacation? It's supposed to be a time to relax, not work, and spend time with family and friends. Well guess what? That's exactly what I did. One week (I was away on a cruise and for anyone who thinks me callous to leave with the current economic situation, I booked the trip back in June) aboard a Caribbean cruise ship with my wife and kids and 1400 other people trying to forget their past troubles and gambling their way into future ones.

It's important to recharge the batteries every now and then, and let me say I truly appreciate the fact that most clients I spoke with told me to go away and forget everything. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, and I did have to come home and get back to work so here we go.

In addition, President-Elect Barack Obama has put forward a clearly defined US team to lead us into the future, as shown on the picture below.

Lastly, we need to realize that the people in charge of things really know what's best for us. As you can certainly see below, it takes a great deal of foresight and thought to run a country/large business in today's economy. Tomorrow, I will try to provide a lighter look at the news.
