April???Madness

In case you haven't thought about it (and there's no reason why you should), if it weren't for my mom and 2 sisters-in-laws - well, and now my 2 daughters-in-law - for 50-some years I was almost the only female in the family with one dad, 3 brothers, 2 sons and one very sports-minded husband. Particularly when it comes to March Madness.

This year, of course, it's March Insanity because Duke isn't in the Final 4. This, according to Bill, who spent his first 2-1/2 years of "higher" education attending Duke. All that to say that I'm used to a lot of yelling in front of the TV around certain "religious" events, such as football and basketball games.

The above are 3 photos I took from our TV of the UNC vs. Kansas game. Kansas won to Bill's dismay (I was for Kansas for no particular reason other than I never cheer for UNC). After surviving that game, we now had to sit through another game (I like b-ball games, but one at a time please): UCLA vs. Memphis. Bill and I both cheered for Memphis, for totally different reasons, of course. Me because they are a city in TN and Bill because he thought they would be a good opponent to UNC, although UNC didn't do their part of that equation.

But, the whole day was made enjoyable by the addition of Magi who was at our house while Grant and Keri spent some time with their friends who have moved to the neighborhood next to ours. They then watched the 2nd Final Four game with us. Grant was for UCLA, Keri didn't care. I was happy to have a warm doggy on my lap for at least part of the game.

Oh yes, and Memphis did win.
