Monday 3-29

Get ready for what should be a great week. The forecast right now calls for sunshine all week long with temperatures warming today and tomorrow, reaching the mid to upper 70's by mid week. Let's hope the cold and snow are gone for good. My neighbor had the lawn mower out over the weekend working on his lawn. That is always one of the first signs of spring.

Of course, Thursday is April 1st. April Fool's Day. Be on your toes, you don't want to get pranked. I have never been one to pull pranks, but I am always concious of one being done to me. Don't let it sneak up on you!

It was another grteat weekend of basketball. Saturday went just as I would have liked....Butler advancing to its first ever Final Four and Kentucky booted out of the tourney by West Virginia. Yesterday's games were not quite as satisfying, with Michigan State going back to the Final Four with a win over Tennessee and Duke outlasting Baylor. Butler plays Michigan State Saturday and Duke plays West Virigina with the championship game next Monday.

There was no Nascar race over the weekend. The race at Martinsville was postponed because of rain. They will run it later today. I may have to skip out of work early. I need my weekly dose of Nascar and the boys are off again this weekend for Easter.
