A Happy 2009 to All

Friends, old and new and readers of all stripes, thanks for making 2008 an interesting, provocative and challenging year at Information Arbitrage. While my blogging ebbed and flowed, and at times I needed to check out to regain my inspiration, you were always there. Thanks for the emails of encouragement, suggestions, questions and deals, and most of all for participating in what has become a vibrant community around the topics of business, politics, technology and musings on life. I’ve shared happiness and tragedy, feelings of admiration and disgust, and generally just put out there whatever stoked my fires at the moment. So thanks for bearing with me. Whether or not you know me personally, I can assure you that as a reader you definitely have a window into my mind and my heart.

I’ll be traveling with my family for a bit and won’t be focused on writing while I’m away, so my next post may well be in 2009. Unless I can’t take it and shove one more in there for good measure, that is. But assuming my discipline holds, I just wanted to wish all of you and your families a happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous 2009. Peace out.
