Thank You for the Pleasant Surprise



My friend Dominique on the Côte d'Azur‎ sent this to me, and it took me a little while to figure out why. So many things are going on.

I am stunned, surprised by joy.   Thank you for your patronage.

Et merci à tous mes amis du café.


This is from The Big Picture by Barry Ritholtz. I assume he was too much the gentleman to allow his own blog to be included in the voting. It would certainly have been either number one or two. He and Yves are giants in the blogosphere alond with ZeroHedge, Calculated Risk, and Mish among others.

And yet there are so many places with special knowledge to frequent, from the hardy fare of LeMetropoleCafe, the cabaret atmosphere of MaxKeiser, and the classic cuisine of iTulip and EconomistsView, as well as those listed on the left hand side of this blog. We can all count ourselves to be very lucky for this creative environment. Let us hope that it will last through the currency war, and that the lights will remain on.
