Closing in on the final four and I have to say this has been a relatively uneventful tournament. There weren't very many upsets and not to many close games until the wee hours of the morning.

I wonder how much the agents helped Uconn really??

So march madness started yesterday and once again I am reminded why I love it.  I always take off Thursday and Friday and watch every game I can.  I fill out a couple of brackets but it is just for fun. I usually root against my bracket and hope for the big upset.

I was supposed to go golfing thursday morning for the first time of the season with my father but it was supposed to rain so we rescheduled for friday. Well it doesn't rain until around 1:00 on Thursday so we would have been able to get our round in but whatever. We watch college hoops all day and part ready to hit the links today.  

 I wake up at 6:00 am and get ready, I am sitting on my couch having a cup of coffee and my brother comes in and says it is snowing.  I go look and sure enough it is snowing outside. We decide it can't last and decide to head out anyway. We get to the course and it is covered in snow. The clubhouse offers us a cup of coffee while we wait.  We have out coffee and decide it aint gonna happen, so we decide to go out to breakfast.

Breakfast was horrible, they got our order wrong then it was cold and the coffee was horrible.   We decide to call it a day and on our way back to my house we realize it is not snowing around here so we head further south and try another course, as soon as we get there it starts snowing. We leave, and head back home. About an hour later it in sunny and 10 degrees warmer. DAMN.

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:
