Something Strange in the Neighborhood…
Last Saturday’s edition of the National Post, Canada’s conservative-leaning newspaper, ran a substantial excerpt from The Secret Language of Money, under the title “Navigating the Money Minefield” and bylined David Krueger and yours truly.
What a delightful and unexpected honor. And here’s a funny thing: it ran, not in the Business section (nor in the paper’s sister-publication Financial Post) but in the Sports section! (When you read the opening scene, you’ll see why.)
One thing, before you actually read the piece itself: the excerpt opens with a line — “Something strange was going on, all right.” — that appears to come out of nowhere. This opening makes more sense when you have the context: this is actually the opening line of the book, where it is preceded by this epigraph:
If there’s something strange in the neighborhood,
Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!
If there’s something weird and it don’t look good,
Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!
Theme song to Ghostbusters, music and lyrics by Ray Parker, Jr.
Enjoy the excerpt!
