Some of Our Own March Madness

For the second year in a row, our friend, Gregg, invited us to put together our brackets and enter the tournament frenzy. I know what you're thinking...what the heck does Sandra know about college basketball? You're right...never follow it and in fact, take pride in that I've never watched a basketball game from the start, straight through to completion whether college, high school, pro or whatever. But there's something about a tournament where it's all or nothing that draws me. Well...let's be serious, the last 2 minutes or so of the game, draws me to watch. I put some serious thought into my bracket suggestions (hmm...North Carolina State...they're from North Carolina, aren't they supposed to be good at basketball? Sure, why not?) and made my picks. I had Syracuse going all the way so my bracket busted awhile back....but I managed to place 7th overall in our group of 17. Not bad, right? (My ability at making picks simply astounds Phil...just ask me how well my fantasy football teams have done in the last two years as well.) We had some madness of our own on the driveway since Phil got a portable hoop back at Christmas and the weather has been so nice. Let's just hope that Josie inherits some of her Dad's athletic ability and not her Mom's...
