Anodyne
Sunday, December 31, 2006
 
Another long year drawing down to a close. Dark now, rain threatening, Boards of Canada on the stereo. Strangely busy for New Year's Eve. Thanks to everyone who wrote in 2006 -- approximately four times as much correspondence as last year, largely due to Blogger's improved search capabilities and Anodyne's inexplicable appearance on several total strangers' "Best Of" lists. Special thanks to the usual geographically dispersed crew of Constant Readers -- Vancouver Island; Toronto; Ann Arbor; Omaha; NYC; London UK & etc.

Plans for the New Year? Science fiction novella to finish; exhibition of photographs; professional accreditation as a securities analyst; mountains to climb; art criticism to write; book sales to attend; pictures to make; paper and real $ portfolios to tend, like the rows of vegetables that I used to water in Frances Jean's city lot-sized garden. "Much about this life is strange...." (Roger Lowenstein). A pretty peculiar set of goals, but at least they're mine and no one else's.

Recent reading, what little I actually accomplished in December:

Don Winslow, The Power of the Dog

Bruce C.N. Greenwald et al, Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond

Pat Dorsey and Joe Mansueto, The Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing: Morningstar's Guide to Building Wealth and Winning in the Market

Peter Carey, Theft

Okay, that's it. See y'all next year.
