This past week (not in calendar terms) has been crazy.  Real busy at work and just trying at times at home.

 My daughter has just been a terror and is a horrible listener and it makes it very rough. It is not like she doesn't know what is going on, she fully understands that you tell her don't do thatm she just doesn't care.

 Example : I told her not to touch her brothers yogurt, she will stop and then 15 seconds later try to sneak it off the table and then when you just give her the stink eye she will pull her hand back then look at you square in the eye and go and grab it anyway. So frustrating. 

Then at work I am trying to implament an employee management calendar and it is proving to be more difficuilt then it should. I am using the Rad Scheduler by Telerik and it is no where near as easy as it should be.  I am getting closer each and every day but I can't help but feel that if it takes me a week to figure out how to work within the constraints of this control, then couldn't I have just rolled my own in that time?

I installed Sitefinity this week and have decided to use that as my framework for the new business venture and so far have found it to be really good. A litte frustrating in getting it set up as I had to work from a blank project instead of the install and go approach but, that being said it was still nice and easy.  I have to get used to writing user controls instead of pages and making everything a little more self contained but that makes perfect sense and should be easy to adjust too.

I finished my 5th season in NCAA 2k8 (the last good college basketball game) and managed to win the title wth the University of Lousiana Lafayette Rajin Cajuns. I was a little sad with this season ending for the first time as I was losing the core of my team. My star Power forward, he was the best player I had ever had. My starting Center, he was a good rebounder, a good shot blocker and capable of putting up points when I needed him and finally my backup PF He was a great three point shooter and a great defender. However I managed to snag 5 4 star recruits out of it.  I have played 4 games so far this season and while I have gone 3-1, losing only to Indiana (they had great big men) I miss the go to guys from last years team.  I don't have that guy I can count on getting me a basket when I need it.

I absolutely love march madness. I love the sport of it, but more then that I love the human side of it.  I love seeing the smaller schools playing their heart out to get into the dance and then from there they are just amazing.

 I would rather see a smaller school win then watch another major conference team win it all.  Every year I fall for Gonzaga in my brackets and every year they let me down.  They are just like the Bills or the Braves, they are damned good just not good enough. Not this year, they are not going to get me. Mind you this is all said prior to the brackets being announced so who really knows.  

Now the bike riding, we went out and got some stuff for the summer as we as a family want to go on more bike rides, so we got helmets for me and my wife, water bottles a small under the seat bag for the keys and such and then we got this for Ricky:
