Well I am back from vacation. I know you've missed my blogs over the past week or so, so here we go again. I may never take another week of vacation....I'm sure you've been through the same thing I have just experienced. You work your tail off the week before you leave getting everything ready, then when you get back you have to do two weeks worth of work just to get back to where you were! Monday was brutal! I worked about 13 hours and I am just now getting things back in shape. I guess it's good to know i am irreplaceable!

While I was off I sure got my fill of basketball. One of the reasons I take a week this time of year is to watch the first weekend of the NCAA basketball tourney and it did not disappoint. There were plenty of great games all weekend long and some major upsets. I filled out a bracket and by the end of the first day, it was not looking too good. My pick for the champ is still alive, but I didn't see all the upsets coming. We still have Butler and Purdue alive form the Hoosier state and how about Northern Iowa knocking off Kansas! I wouild love to see the two high seeded teams go far...Both St. Mary's and Cornell were very impressive. I think this tourney could be won by just about anyone...but please NOT Kentucky!

One of few things I got accomplished other than watching basketball was getting a much needed haircut. I hate cutting my hair. I only do it two or three times a year, so when I visit the barber he has quite a task on his hands. I think this time he wore out three or four pairs of scissors! I thought as you got older your hair was supposed to thin out or fall out. Not his kid! It seems to get thicker all the time. That makes it a pain to maintain but wearing it longer makes me feel like an honorary Beatle! I have gotten a lot of nice rsponse to the new haircut, so maybe I'll keep it short.......NAH!
