This is it. I'm ending this blog with one that will put me on the coal-in-stocking list forevermore. Joey Ramone wrote this about how much he sincerely likes (loves?) this financial reporter, apparently on his deathbed (or close to it). There. I feel horrible, yet it's the truth: it's not good.

You might think I would have saved something really excellent for the final antidote, but instead here's a song by the Feelies that I barely know. I like their first album enough to recommend it, if you can find it. Merry Xmas.

Start over. I'll leave the Feelies video, but really, how could I end this thing without featuring the greatest rock video of all time (and an excellent all-around song), Peter Gabriel's immortal "Shock the Monkey" I ask you rhetorically?

This is the end, but watch here in 2008 for occasional (perhaps weekly) posts where I'll look back and highlight some of the better, overlooked postings from 2007.
