InSys Views - November 2007

Volume 2, Issue 11 - November 2007

Well, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. This year went fast!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, because I think it's the most family-oriented of all those we celebrate in the US. Don't get me wrong, because I like them all. But for Thanksgiving, we don't have any gift-giving pressure or any political overtones. It's just about recognizing the good things you have, and letting those who are close to you know that you appreciate them. And, of course, food plays a big part.

So it's an intentionally abbreviated issue of InSys Views this month. Thanks to all of you who've helped make 2006 such a good year for the company. I hope no one has to travel too far, no one gets stuck at the airport and no one ends up eating too much. And if you like football, I hope the games are great!

Best regards to you and your families.
