It was a short fought challenge. We saw teams win we didn't want to win. We saw our favorite teams win some too. AND - we saw a team that Creighton beat twice this year (and lost once in a very close game) in the final four. A team a lot of us saw in person on March 2. In the end though, with all of us picking and prognosticating MIKE LAVELLE ends up our winner! You could say that we did a good job of crowd sourcing picking the winner as a total of nine people correctly picked Louisville as the winner, however, nobody picked more than two of the correct Final Four teams (and only Desmond and Mike were able to pick two correctly).
Congratulations Mike! You will recieve your prize at some point in the future.

Ha!
wouldn't that be a surprise.
It was just Randy trying to get all his possible options into the final four. He also filled out brackets with other guys.

Good basketball fun. Next year more of you should play.
I am so mad...the Mets are playing the Twins this weekend and I'm going to be gone. I never thought the mets would play here because don't they usually do the inter league play closer to home? Oh well, it's going to be cold anyway. Really cold!
We all went to see the new Oz movie. Pretty good. Appropriate for all ages, I guess - unless you have a real young one who might get frightened by a scary cackling witch.
The acting was so-so. That Mila Cunis or whatever her name is was pretty bad until halfway through the movie when her character went through a change.
The Oz guy was played by someone I would describe as a poor man's Johnny Depp. Real poor.
It was shot in 3-D and a lot of times I don't like 3-D movies because they try to "Wow" you with the affect. They tend to over do it. Not this one. It was subtle so by the end of the movie you we really unaware of it. Yet, when you recall the scenes you know they were 3-D.
The story was good (explains how the Wizard arrived in Oz prior to Dorothy and how he snookered the locals into deeming him a Wizard).
I give it Thumbs up.

Ha Ha!

Yesterday mary was one of 12 kids up for the Woodman of the World speech contest. (a finalist from a field of about 80 kids) She gave a 5 minute speech on JFK withouth notes. She did not place in the end, but I'm real happy she was able to do this. She did not know who JFK was when she started.
