The Wisconsin basketball team lost the national championship final game last night. It is tough to tell whether they got screwed with the officiating or just lost an tough contest. It seems kind of strange that the Badgers had 2 fouls in the first 20 minutes of basketball and 10 minutes into the second half, they had 10 fouls (and counting). In the end, the Badgers had a terrific tournament and knocked off an arrogant, unbeaten Kentucky in the semi-finals. I really think the Badgers had the best talent in college basketball.
Grasshopper No.4 won the family basketball “bracket” pool. I did what your Mom told me to do. I let No.4 win so he feels good about himself.
Sunday was Easter. Your Mom was a great host and she “pulled off” a most nutritious dinner that actually tasted great. She is a clever lady.
Sunday was also the birthday of our favorite son-in-law. I will not embarrass him by mentioning his actual age but it is an even number ending with a “0”. It is all down hill from here. There is no significant “upside”. All I can say is join the club. A belated Happy Birthday to Tom.
I notice that the Milwaukee Brewers opened the season yesterday with the normal optimism. They fielded their best team (actually Ryan Braun pulled a muscle in his side so here we go again). The Brewers put their best pitcher on the mound. They lost 10-0! Oh, well there are 161 games to redeem themselves. There is always the “Hank, the dog bobblehead” day and of course normal tailgating.
Tax deadline for filing is the 15th.
