happy new year?

Seems to me like we spent the last 6 months of 2008 talking about how awful it was going to be in 2009. Was a year ever welcomed in with such grim resignation? Well at least it's now under way and we can stop speculating and start doing. I have to confess I like Q1. New year, new financial year, new opportunities. A new budget as well - even if no one dare spend any of it. And a new Winter to experience. The Nexus year is kicking off with a team meeting in Denver. My flight is via Minneapolis so no doubt arrival and departure times (and possibly destinations) will bear only a passing resemblance to the official schedule. Still, never mind - I'd much rather be out there dealing with it than sitting here worrying about it.

May your 2009 be much better than you feared it might be!
