• Eating leftover pizza for dinner.  Never as good.
• Doug Kass covers his shorts in the after hours on Moody’s announcement.  Hmm, that one worked out.
• Temperatures 15 degrees below normal in Sacramento.  Thanks, “global warming.”  Seriously, temperatures in the 70’s?  Feels nice, but this is pool swimmin’ season.  Between a cold May and June, the swimming season is a very narrow window this year!
