Happy New Year! 2007 is gone and good riddance to it. It was a year of war, a sinking economy, a falling dollar, another year of Bush, VT, and private failures too.
I'll be glad to focus on the macro. To paraphrase Woody Allen, "Man concerns himself with the problems of the world so he doesn't have to confront the problems of his own existence." ((wait a second... Woody Allen said THE OPPOSITE... riffing on the astute observations of some Euro-shrinks he was consulting, no doubt)).
Just the same, now that the year is done, it's good to give thanks for the good: Thanks for family and friends, for another year paying the mortgage, for paid off cars, for credit cards kept at bay, and the fact that the whole house of cards hasn't come crashing down just yet.
Other things for which we give thanks: GI's, Jesus, church, charity, books, birth-control. Some goods contradict other goods, but that's what makes life worth thinking about.
2008, I think we all can hope, just has to be better.
