True Blue

Grasshopper No.3 and No.4 have bet that they can beat the “old man” with their picks in the NCAA basketball tournament. It is still early but on the first day of competition, the “old man” picked 14 right out of 16.
Just a comment on Harvard. It is a “brain” school. They never, ever won a game in the NCAA tournament. Guess what? Harvard beat New Mexico (a highly rated team). If Harvard is so smart, why did it take a century to figure out how to win.
My alma mater returned from the dead. Marquette was behind by 6 points in their NCAA contest against Davidson with 70 seconds remaining. Marquette had “no time-outs” left. Somehow, Marquette’s Vander Blue (hence my title True Blue) made a lay-up with one second remaining and they won. So the dance continues. Did I go to a prestigious school or what?
Your Mom and I attended the Fireside performance of “Footloose”. I thought it was a nice day and entertaining performance. Your Mom has been “throwing up ever since”. I didn’t think the play was that bad. My first thought was that maybe we ate something that caused a reaction. But so far, only she got sick. Wait! I hope I can finish this because I’m feeling nauseous.
We have finished watching the second season of “The Game of Thrones” featured on HBO. The new season starts on Mar.31. I’m almost inclined to let Season three playout and then watch on reruns. Watching the series in rapid succession lets you follow the story line easier.
My dashboard light is flashing at me again. Damn!
Love,
Dad
