business news in context, analysis with attitude

Published on: December 22, 2014

As is the custom around here, I'm taking a little time off for the holidays to catch my breath, sleep a little late, read some books, go to a bunch of movies, do a little non-MNB writing and just generally recharge the batteries. (There will, no doubt, be the annual viewing of Love Actually, my favorite Christmas movie ever. We're also thinking about an evening with The Godfather, complete with spaghetti, meatballs and sausages, and maybe even some Coppola wines.)

I hope you’re able to do whatever it is that makes you happy over the next couple of weeks.

As always, the MNB archives are open. And I'll probably being posting from time to time on Facebook. (If something extraordinary happens, I'll be paying attention and will find myself back and the laptop filing a story and commentary for MNB, and I'll shoot you an email to let you know.)

MNB will be back on Monday, January 5, 2015 … and I trust that the coming year will be eventful, energetic, prosperous and most of all, fun for all of us.

Michael Sansolo and Kate McMahon, as well as Mrs. Content Guy and the entire Content Clan, join me in wishing you a happy and safe holiday … however and whatever you celebrate.

Slàinte!
