Congratulations to the LA Kings for winning the Stanley Cup. I can’t imagine a place less suitable for hockey than LA, but then I don’t really consider June a “hockey month” either. I mean, it was 90 degrees here yesterday – hockey was definitely not on my mind. Not that hockey is ever really very much on my mind. <\/p>\n

I used to like going to the Syracuse Blazers games back when I was a kid, when my brother used to take me (I remember my first one, I couldn’t figure out why everybody was leaving after the third “quarter”). The fights were quite entertaining. I even went to one of the current team’s games (the Crunch) versus our dreaded rivals, Rochester , when I got dragged along by a friend of mine and some friends of his. One of the guys I was with actually managed to get in a fight with one of the Rochester players, which was pretty funny (a scene straight out of “Slap Shot”). <\/p>\n

I think there may have been alcohol involved.<\/p>\n

On the way in to work this morning, I heard that the median net worth of Americans fell from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010<\/a>. That’s like 39%, and a loss of something like 18 years worth of savings and investment. Seems as though most of that drop was the decrease in home equity.<\/p>\n

There’s good news, though. People in the top 10% of income saw their net worth increase from a median of $1.17 million in 2007 to $1.19 million in 2010. <\/p>\n

So, like, shouldn’t they have created some jobs?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
