When Will Spring Come?

Hi, what's the weather like where you live?

Here in Minnesota it is dark, dingy, gray, ugly, sandy, dirty, cold, damp and I want spring to spring from the ground. This trash gives me headaches because it's too cold still and I long for sun and warmth. I still have to wear my Spyder coat and my wool socks while eating soup and drinking hot chocolate. I have a headache now and have gotten a few lately because of the changes in pressure with the rain, sleet, snow, semi-warmth, threatening sun going up and down before giving way to gray and cold!

I wish spring would do just that. Spring.

Kansas won the NCAA basketball championship last night. It was a fantastic game to watch the whole way through. With 2:16 left I think I said that Kansas would never win a big game, a championship again, because they don't have "clutch" players. So, down 9 they whittled it to just a three point deficit with 10 seconds left when out of the woodworks of the floor came Mario Chalmers and his big three to tie it up with 2.1 seconds to go. The Jayhawks would then take the win and the championship by 7. Craziness. I guess I'll have to recant on Kansas not having any clutch players. I will have confidence now if I pick them for a championship again as I have done in the past.

I finished 24-8 in round 1.

9-7 in round 2.

4-4 in the elite eight.

2-2 in the final four.

1-1 in the final two.

And I picked the winner, Kansas. I might have waited until Saturday to pick Kansas over my other team, UCLA but I did.

I finished 41 of 63 for a winning percentage of .650.

Just average.
That makes me

YOu should have bet -- it looks like you could have earned some money. I swear some year I'm going to do it but I always forget. :) We'll settle for the fantasy baseball draft. I got Eric a book so hopefully we win! :)
