UK out Early?

March madness and Memphis mania have coincided this season. The NCAA tourny is upon us and the UM Tigers have gotten a number 1 seed! I always follow the tourny with gusto, usually because my UK wildcats are seeded fairly high (1 or 2) and are expected to go deep into the tourny. But not this year! They really suck and got an 8 seed. Some folks think UAB will beat us in the first round, but I hope they get to round 2 so UCONN can beat us out (a 1 seed instead of a 9 seed).

UM is good this year and I will pull for them since I am sure the Wild kittens aren't going anywhere this time. UM pulled #16 seed Oral Roberts, who some analyst say have a real chance of being the first #16 in history to beat a #1, but I don't think they are giving UM enough credit. I hope that the upset doesn't happen, but hey, any thing, any time in the NCAA playoffs, right? I almost didn't fill out a bracket this year, which would have been the first time since I can remember, but I went ahead. Already missed one game, dumb ol' Montana upset Nevada, but I didn't know much about either of those teams, just took the higher seed there.

March is half over already! Where did it go? At this rate, I will be 70 yrs old in a few months! Wow, time is really moving on quickly it seems. I guess the key is to enjoy each day as a new and unique adventure and gift from God and not take anytime for granted. At 50, I can really feel the years going by and I know most of my life is behind me now. It is a perspective that you have to feel to understand, but it is real. Best to be here than not though, right?

Got my third Patho exam coming up at 6:30. I hope the class does much better on this one than the last, although the grades were up on exam II from last term.
Well, time to get off for now. I have noticed more and more time is elapsing between my blogging. I want to get my own website so I can get my messages out to more and more folks. Why keep all this wisdom, humor, wit and humility from the world, eh?

Good day
