Happy New Year – I wish for all of you a happy and prosperous year.   We have much in changes coming our way in our country, possibly in the world.  I believe optimism with just a tinge analytical cynicism is useful as we look hopefully to the future.

I was told that my last post was complicated and lengthy.  I suppose it was, but the economy is a complicated topic.  So why write about it, well that my friends is because it’s my musing, so I get to do what I like with it…. and maybe I had too much musing time over the holiday, of course I had too much to eat and to drink as well, so we’ll clean that up in the coming weeks.

By the way, I thought there was some really great and fun football games this last weekend.  The BCS games were not as interesting as the Rose Bowl and the Orange Bowl.  Both games were very exciting and fun to watch, although the outcome was not as I hoped, especially the Orange Bowl (Still – GoBlue!) they were great fun!
