Finding Marge

Happy Birthday to daughter-in-law Shelby.  I remember being her age!  Her birthday came and went several days ago.

Happy Birthday to Grand-daughter Keely in Cleveland.  Sunday marks the date.  I remember being her age too!

Happy Birthday to daughter-in-law Jenny.  The birthday coincides with St. Patricks day.  Let the celebration begin!

There is a group of Sheboygan ladies that met on a regular basis 35 years ago.  There has been an effort to gather one more time.  One of the ladies was our neighbor Marge from Crystal Lake.  She seems to have vanished.  Throw in a divorce, abandoning lake life, sharing life with a special “other” and then more moves.  Where oh where is Marge?  She seems to have vanished “in plain sight”.  Stay tuned!  I know.  I know.  There is always Google.

The guessing contest to pick the winner of the NCAA basketball tournament sponsored by Quicken Loans starts next week.  The prize?  $1 billion.  The odds? 1 in 9.2 quad-tillion.  Actually the odds are better because everyone knows that a #1 seed has never lost in the first round.  Also knowledge of individual team tendencies has a big effect.  Only the first 15 million entrants are elgible for the prize, so act early.  To enter you must reveal lots of personal information including e-mail address and date of birth.  Is it really worth a 1 in 128 billion chance of winning $1 billion dollars in exchange for having Quicken harrass you with sales promotions forever?

Next week is the official arrival of Spring.

Love,

Dad
