Professional sports ain’t what they used to be, what with free agency and all..
You want to get behind the home teams, and you want to love the home players, but those players seem to come & go every year. So I root for the teams, and when I have to buy something player-specific (like a #11 Fitz jersey for a 6-year old at Christmas), I gravitate towards players who are “good guys” and who I think will be in Phoenix for a long time.

Nevertheless…
I saw this in a home I was showing last weekend. It’s the walk in closet belonging to a child who is about 4 years old, based on the pictures of her in her room. It measured about 5 or 6 feet square. (perspective: many starter homes built in the early 2000s have bedrooms about 8 or 9 feet square)
Sometimes we indulge our children a wee bit too much.
I’m not judging, I swear. I have too many material things in my life and I’m on a blitzkrieg campaign to simplify, small-ify and generally reduce my life/budget/waistline. I’m just wondering if this picture isn’t a perfect reflection of how so many of us got into so much debt.
