Easter Island: Statues placed near fresh water. I was hoping that they were aligned for the Solstice or Equinox.



My brackets were pummeled but my Final Four picks are still alive.



Happy Våffeldagen!

I have three Brackets working one is 87%; the other two are 68% and 75%. Still a long way to go.

The Democrats burned the ships !



I can only speak anecdotally, but I am doing most of my buying on-line. Amazon Prime gives me two day shipping and going to the actual stores is a drag. Pricing is another issue, I buy a lot of books and Barnes and Noble on-line has consistently lower prices than the physical store. I've actually ordered pots from Macy's on-line and it worked well. This article analyzes the fate of:Big Retail.



All my brackets are dead with the loss by UCLA. Wait...my ESPN second chance final 16 bracket picks Kansas.****Update - all brackets kaput, Kansas lost to Oregon in the Elite Eight.

From yesterday.



My main bracket is at 86%. The ones I didn't pick look to lose their next games, looking good unless a big upset throws things off. **** Update, My 97% bracket with Villanova winning is now dead. Villanover, Nova no longer a lox.



Sometimes I don't pay attention to things because they work, although not up to standards. I pay extra for faster internet and I only started seeing if I get what am paying for, like running a speed-test. Yikes, 10mbps download, 5mbps upload. I did a spectrum chat and the technician on the other end did some jiggling to my modem off-site and then I was 50mbps download and 25mbps upload, better but not what I am paying for monthly. I was told to connect via ethernet which for some reason I had not, probably due to my move two years ago.I did have a technician doing the install, but no ethernet connection. Don't know how I missed it. I was more interested in connecting the apartment via WiFi.Everything was off of WiFi. Now 95 mbps and 23mbps.



Big Apple BBQ is back in Madison Square Park: June 10 - 11, 2017.

Winter Storm Stella, a Nor'easter, approaches. NY1 is usually accurate but they say NYC will get 10" - 20." They apologized, saying mix of rain may lower estimates, but it will depend on different factors that could change. New model out at 2 pm today.



Made my picks. One picks Villanova, the other Duke.



St. Pat's prep.

Picked the winner, 98% in the ESPN bracket challenge. I won in a private group, a box of golf balls for my effort. A great championship game.

March 19, 2016

Well, after all those upsets, I am 85% in the standings with my overall pick still alive.

Last year Louisville broke my heart and my Bracket. Have to say they are my favorite again. St. Louis from the A-10 looks real good also.
