Behind the Mask: Time to get some rest

Saw Bengie's Skin of the Green Awning Home run on Friday from VB315, Row B, Seat 1, aka behind home plate on the upper deck. Dodgers fan behind us almost ruined the game for all the four letter words coming out of his mouth. Fortunately for all, he did quiet down before I asked an usher to escort him out. Also fortunately, I had neither of my daughters at the ballpark with me, although my older one could take it. Just like Bengie, I'll be anxiously awaiting next year when pitchers and catchers report to camp. Got to find out who donated those seats to this year's SHCP auction.

Now for something you would find more often in a general blog...

God, I got shellacked in the US stock market this week. Fortunately, I managed to automatically cut my losses in some things, but I still have a mess to clean up. If I did what triggered this week all year long, I would have a  *gain* in short-term trading rather than a loss. I do have some long-term gains sitting in my brokerage account (some of them quite hefty, still). I just have to pick some to keep up with my series of positive combined capital gains since 1988... :)
