Louisville takes it, great win. My Bracket was in the 85th Percentile.



Got to do my taxes. Late this year because I owe.



Tonight is Knicks and Greek night. Gyros from Tony's Opa ! Opa ! in Astoria with Greek Wine to wash it down. Opa can mean simply OOPS or some others believe the word signifies a moment to embrace and celebrate the totality of life. It is a good thing. I remember people shouting it and breaking plates in Restaurants in Astoria.

Also, Souvlaki or Gyro. I prefer the Gyro.

It was a very competitive Final Four. Let's go Cardinals ! I remember one year I picked games using Mascot v Mascot. Using that criteria, Michigan clearly wins. 9:23 starting time ? Yikes !

Picking up the DVD today.



Rooting for Louisville tonight and Ohio State.



Jeremy we need you ! Shake off your Linjury.



Vintage 2002, looked around and paid $149.99. Some places had it for $189.99.



CÎROC ad is playing constantly on TV during Sportcasts on Cable. This is the long version. Any ad with Michael K. Williams (Omar) and Frank Vincent is worth it. Homage to the Rat Pack with "The Voice."

What a game ! Cardinals in Final Four.



The Milwaukee Bucks lost last night, big game Monday.



One bad thing about watching lots of sports on TV is that you get hit with commercials that drive you crazy. I basically stopped my music listening in the mid 70s. Not to say there wasn't great music produced since then, just a personal choice. I do remember True by Spandau Ballet and it is on my I-Tunes which generally stops at about 1975. This commercial butchers the song and is outright annoying. Click on this: to go to YouTube or double click on the YouTube logo. The comments below the video are priceless. Looks like I'm not the only one who is annoyed.



2009 Ravenswood Vintners Blend Zinfandel and Santa Rita 120 Cabernet Sauvignon are the wines for the weekend.

Grantland has a Wire Bracket. The NCAA Basketball Bracket comes out tonight.



People are now writing off the Knicks and Jeremy Lin. Big mistake. Today, the season begins at 12:00 pm.
***Well, after watching them get blown out I may have to start the season tomorrow.



Great win by Louisville last night. Peyton Siva was tourney MVP and looked real good. Not as good as Xavier's Tu Holloway, but real good. Today has ACC and A-10 finals.
***Not so good with my assessments. Xavier gets beaten by the Bonnies.



Couldn't get the sound bar to work with DVD. A little thinking and research solved it. Each platform needs a connection to the source. I'm pretty good with technical matters and these issues are not hard. I can't see how people with no patience can do the set-ups. Talking Flat Screen HDMI connections on top of cable, with a DVR thrown in. I have a DVD with a HDMI plug, and now that I connected that, the video is clearer.
