MARCH MADNESS

March Madness. This is the time of the year for the NCAA basketball tournaments. We have a family challenge. The only thing you can win is bragging rights. Right now all 6 of us have filled out brackets. After two rounds, I am in the lead by one point with the entire West bracket still intact. John is one point behind and his West bracket is also still intact. Julie and Brent are tied at one point behind John with the grandkids (code names "Bob" and "Redshoes") back farther. "Redshoes" has pretty much lost an entire bracket but after all she is only 3. "Bob" picks by teams he knows and then by mascots. He likes bulldogs so Butler goes out fairly far. Unfortunately Butler lost the first round as did The Ohio State University. My hopes now rest with Michigan State and Duke. While all of this is somewhat inconsequential it is fun and propels us through March. I am fairly busy this next week but as overtime is not approved I do have Thursday off and right now it is filled with fun things with friends. Spring has arrived and the temperatures are at least in the forties with some forays into the fifties.
