Ed. Note: I took a break from writing Business Thoughts back in mid-November, as holiday craziness hit high gear. Thankfully, that’s all done now, and it’s time to get back into it. Now, a few things happened while we were all full of Christmas ham, and I’m going to try to cover that and more in this two-part catch-up issue of Business Thoughts. Don’t already receive Business Thoughts? Let’s sort that out now. For me, the latest saga with Boeing smacks of déjà vu.
