Well, it’s been quite a week, hasn’t it? A real crash course in highs and lows; ups and wow – what downs! After this week, 401k only refers to a pitcher’s strikeout record. So, of course in unsettling times of – say – Crash and burn, people turn to me for solace, for joy, and for a safe place to crash this week on Turntable For One. They made a big mistake!
