Got to see my old friend tonight on a speaker's tour. Charming as usual. Pleasure to see him...and he's got the crowd in stitches.

Don't look now

Survivors of the Christmas and New Year reality-denial fest staggering into work today will have needed to stick their fingers firmly in their ears to avoid hearing the chorus of dire news and direr predictions - at least one bouncing new baby war to start the year, you've either spent the year end break having flu/vomiting virus/a supercold or are about to get it, and the Russians have chosen this happy moment to turn off the gas.  The truth is, if looks could kill, you'd be better off not looking 2009 in the face.  I managed to spend about 10 minutes on Christmas Eve watching a snatch of one of the animated Christmas Carols (not the new, fabulous 3-D version which is about to come out) and was fascinated to see how spot-on that whole Scrooge /Marley / ghost thing still is.  As Marley is dragged inexorably back to hell by the chains that bind him fast to the universal plight of mankind, you almost expect to hear Scrooge say something about the securitization of debt having looked like a good thing at the time.  
Anyway, the good news about everyone saying 2009 is going to be dreadful is this:  one thing we learned for sure in 2008 is that actually, nobody has a clue what is going to happen next.   Which is some comfort for those of us having trouble feeling motivated to get back to the task of helping our employers throw other people's money down the toilet and then flush it vigorously.
