NCAA Men’s First Round - Friday

What in heaven’s name was going on in the Midwest Regional on Friday? I had five wrong picks! In the East I had one wrong. Not a good day.

Some of the teams I have picked to win are not teams I particularly like (it’s personal or, sometimes, personnel), but I have to pick them because they have a proven record. Do you know how hard it is for me to cheer for them to win? Normally I would be cheering for the opponent and it’s hard breaking myself from that.

I can’t stand Memphis, for example, but I had to cheer them on. Oh! Life can be so cruel. ☺

And the Women’s Tournament started today. This must be heaven. All basketball all the time.

I do have a life outside of basketball
This past Thursday night the gathering at Wintonbury Branch Library in Bloomfield had a great audience packed with poets and poetry lovers alike. We are usually finished around a little past 9 p.m. This time we didn’t finish until after 10 p.m. If you like poetry, consider coming out to Wintonbury Library on April 16th. This will be the last meeting of the season.

On the last Saturday of the month you will find poetry at The Buttonwood Tree in Middletown, and on the April 30th and May 28th consider coming to Wood Memorial Library in South Windsor all sponsored by the Riverwood Poetry Series.

I don’t remember if I mentioned before that I’m working on my first chap book—Beyond the Mists, poetry from my spiritual, magical and dark sides. I will self publish and it will probably be out by midsummer.
