Championship game tonight. Don't care for either team. I will root for Gonzaga because Bing Crosby went there. The NYT recently had a story on North Carolina's "Fake Classes." Is that real "Fake News?"



Nusquam est qui ubique est. Vitam in peregrinatione exigentibus hoc evenit, ut multa hospitia habeant, nullas amicitias.

Who is everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends.



Near Madison Square Garden. 24 is still good, not like before but still good.



Keen's was another time capsule place. Excellent food and service. The Affogato was a special treat.



Tried Chick-fil-A, pretty good.



Herald Square Macy's had a Spring festival.



Forsythias are starting to flower.

For a brief shining moment after Thursday's picks I was 8000 out of millions. Now, with Friday's picks i am in the millions.



Hope this was the last of the snow.

The tournament starts in earnest today. B-Ball heaven.



Survivor Worlds Apart is so far, so good.

Wow, an 8K turnaround. Didn't realize I was a Qualified Head of Household Widower. I should have realized it but it is a great feeling to correct this and not have to pay 5K when they already take out so much. Now to change my W-4 and get almost $500 more each month. Only good in my case for tax years 2013 and 2014.



I still have two brackets going. One has Arizona, the other is Florida. Still, a great tournament. one of the best.



Making Philly Cheese-steaks tonight. Bought the Cheez-Whiz and will use London Broil as the steak.

Cool wine guide posted on The Big Picture.



My bracket is still alive but on life-support. I'm in the 72% range at the moment.



Work function last night to welcome new employees. Finally tried Sam Adams Cold Snap. A good one, it won't be around much longer.

The spoon, needed for the colloidal balance in a half and half. Starting off with Irish Coffee.



The NCAA selections are announced tonight at six. The NCAA Division One finals are always great. Now, all games are available. Will be filling out my bracket soon.



Had some good German beer yesterday. The Schneider Aventinus Wheat-Doppelbock, purple tap, was my favorite.



Breakfast: Half and Half, Soda Bread and bangers.

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 !
