The Winter Meetings begin on Monday, but this past week may as well have been the protracted start. There was far more activity this past week than at the Winter Meetings last year – or in any week I can remember, really – and I’d expect there to be plenty more next week at the meetings. In any event, the point here is that there will be plenty to discuss this weekend, and you’re going to see a great deal more written today than on a usual Saturday. If you’re holed up from a snowstorm, settle in, grab a cup, and be ready.
