Tomorrow morning (early to land the $200 airfare) I am headed to Omaha to spend the weekend with the Oracle of Omaha.  Warren Buffett.  Saturday marks the date of my inaugural Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting, and I’m very excited to be attending.  I’ve threatened to do this for many years running, but have always had something else going on the same weekend (well…and triplets).  This year, I made it a priority.  I suspect those who have attended many times are growing wary of the crowds.  Not only that, there are apparently - and not surprisingly - a lot of questions posed by protestors of various stripes.  That’s a shame, but it’s a big audience these days.  Last year there were over 30,000 attendees, and that number will probably be at least comparable this year.  In fact, I understand that there will not be any open questions during the session this year…just pre-submitted (and vetted) questions.

None of that matters…I’m just excited to be attending.  I’ll wait until next year to be a jaded veteran.
