What's with all these ends...

Sure the implosion of the Club Met meant the end of something. But gosh that was looking for an end as long as I knew about it.
The end of Yankees Stadium. Sure that too is sad.
But this week has really hit this geeky girl hard... I used to pretend as a kid that I was working at Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner and Smith. No really... Sure other people play dress up and I would play stock broker. I would look up tickers in the newspaper. Watch them run at the bottom of the tv screen (oh what a gem cable was)...
I have always found the market and the economy and politics of it all so interesting.
This week sure is a big study in all that...
I wonder how it will all pan out.
And I hate to say this - but this is one of those moments I miss having my dad around to talk to about it. Sure my mom and I had an interesting talk on it all.... But he would have had an interesting spin to it - with just a little more doom and gloom than I would care to hear.
