I was quite surprised to read the post below from Om Malik just a bit ago. Om’s a good friend, but as is a hazard in our industry, one with whom I’m not in close contact with on a regular basis. While not happy to hear he’d had a heart attack, I’m very happy to know he’s on the mend and doing well.

Happy New Year. As you may have noticed, my byline hasn’t been up on the site for a few days. That’s because the holidays weren’t exactly my most jolly.

I had a heart attack on Dec. 28. I was able to walk into the hospital for treatment that night and have been recovering here ever since. With the support of my family and my team, I am on the road to a full recovery. I am going to be OK.

I want to post my good wishes for a full and speedy recovery here, and to chide Om to remember that the smokes, scotch and fatty foods, enjoyable though they are, really do need to be a thing of the past. Take care of yourself, my friend.
