Happy New Year!
January 5th, 2009Happy New Year! I hope 2009 brings you health, happiness, and prosperity, …accompanied by decreased volatility.
It’s been two weeks since I’ve updated my blog. I apologize for the absence. It has not been for a lack of desire or a dearth of newsworthy events. Rather, I have been traveling for the better part of the last few weeks – first on business, and then for pleasure.
My travels took me to Israel, where I attended the Israel Strategy Conference. The conference was fantastic! It was sponsored by a consortium of the top Israeli universities – Tel Aviv University, Technion University, and Hebrew University. It attracted top-notch strategy scholars from around the world who presented a bevy of interesting research papers. I’ll certainly look forward to attending the conference again in the years to come.
This was my first trip to Israel, though certainly not my last. I am ashamed to admit that I was not able to travel outside of Tel Aviv. Unfortunately, I was only able to stay for the duration of the conference before heading back home. I feel horribly about that as I very much would have liked to have visited Jerusalem, Nazareth, Bethlehem, and Caesarea (among others).
From Israel I traveled to New Hampshire to meet my family. They had been up there skiing while I was away. I feel very lucky to have been able to spend a few days skiing with them. And it’s especially exciting to watch my kids learn how to ski at a young age. At this rate they’re certain to become better skiers than I by next winter.
Anyhow, I am back now, and looking forward to posting on a more regular basis.
