Financial Crisis versus LA Dodger Crisis


Our investment portfolio has lost about a third of its value in the past year. Our house is now worth 15-20% less than our purchase price. We are probably in for a long and deep recession.

The Dodgers are on their way to tanking in the second round of the playoffs.
Guess which crisis Ed was reacting to last night when he was slamming doors and throwing an absolute 3-year oldesque fit about the whole thing?*
Apparently, he is fine with delaying his retirement by ten years as long as the Dodgers win the pennant.

*in Ed's defense, he waited for the boys to go to bed before he started his tantrum.

And to further my defense, the Dodgers aren't exactly a powerhouse team. The last time they made it this far in the playoffs, I was in the sixth grade. So at this rate of success, my sons will be in high school the next time they make a run at the pennant. *sigh!*

Thanks for a good chuckle.
