Bristol

Well so much for the sanctity of the family unit.

B-ball

okay, okay...my basketball picks are terrible. A huge shoutout for Georgia Tech today beating Clemson. We watched the game in our favorite Chapel Hill bar, Krunkleton's. Since the big east is doing funny things with their bracketts who knows what is going to happen on Sunday night.

a finding

At the top of the hill in our neighborhood there is a path that goes further up the hill. One day Katrina and I took it and we ended up in a field and there was this stone fireplace. The never ending surprises of the "Pitt".

Should I write about Rush or basketball?

Basketball! Rush gives me a headache. Now I ask you what ACC game would be 7 minutes into the game and the score is 4 to 5? Well that's the big 10...Michigan v Minnesota. Is there really a question of what conference is the best? The Big East is 2nd for sure but I do not think they have the depth that the ACC has. There are some very weak teams in the Big East so there are easy games. Other than GA Tech there are no easy games in the ACC and Tech has spurts. In the end an ACC team may not win the title, it may go to a conference standout like LSU. This does not mean that the SEC is a good conference...LSU has had it pretty easy all year where Carolina, Duke, Wake, etc have played like crazy THE ENTIRE SEASON.

Evansville is out, losing yesterday in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. Oh well, if they had done well I would have looked really good.

My new little guy pick is Saint Mary's in the WCC

It is so much more fun to obsess over basketball rather than politics because the future of the free world is not at stake.

Davidson has disappointed me this season but a one man team is risky business.

Tubby's boys are doing well...leading at the half. They might dance after all.

Oh great FSU put on probation...I knew they should have never been allowed into the ACC, the criminals (sorry Bob).

I posted on my Facebook wall that I was wishing for UNC v Duke tickets...my brother called and said he had some did I want them....He was kidding and I have only now recovered.

Hot News

Sanjay Gupta will not be the Surgeon General after all. I am really upset. A "study" indicates that Sarah Palin was hurt in the election by her looks...REALLY! Could it not have been her stupidity.

Things that have made me smile today...

At noon on many days I have heard church bells from one of the churches in the Pitt. Today the door was open and the bells were playing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"....smiling going on. And there is a frog (or maybe two) in our pond in the backyard that is chirping up a storm...smile

Juricks Come to Town!!!!!

Liz and Katrina hit it off!!!!

Good dinner and Stevie came...haven't seen him since Carolyn's wedding.

Liz and Em

Dean Dome from the athletic directors box. Go Tarheels!

What a great time. It is always fun and thanks for the wonderful dinner!!!!!! Sorry about the Jackets Liz.

Lets not speak of the Tarheels

Duke and Wake Forest played a great game last night. A game with everything. My pre-tournament sweet 16 picks look really grim at this point. Tennessee has bombed, Tubby is not looking good, and it doesn't look like Oklahoma and UConn are going to fold. Oh well, there is risk in making early picks (aka guesses).

Roy....can you not get the boys to defend the 3 point shot??!!!!

Roland Burris

I told you he should not have been seated. The pundits were so quick to insist that he was qualified so he should be seated; I do not think anyone really looked into his background. Enough said.

My Friend Leonard

The first person I met when I moved to Atlanta was my dear friend of almost 39 years Leonard. He was responsible for my employment and he has seen me through wild times, marriage, births...everything life has dealt. We have shared political views, friends, experiences, and fried chicken. He has always been my mentor and I miss him.
