It was a pretty good week in the Bay Area, all things considered. Only three of the seven professional teams lost important players to injury, and only two of those were mega-important losses. Only two of the three remaining college basketball teams in the area got knocked out of the tournaments they were in.

Yeah, it was pretty good stuff indeed – if your comparison point is having your car repossessed.
