NCAA Tournaments – Tuesday through Thursday

So far, both UConn teams are still in it. Along the way there have been so many upsets. The most recent notable upsets occurred last night. DUKE and MEMPHIS both bit the dust. In a previous posting I said if Memphis lost I would throw in the towel and consider my brackets ka-poo-ie! So...ka-poo-ie it is.

So, now what happens?
I’m not sure UConn can go all the way. If they do, the Final Four will/could look like a Big East face-off. It could be Louisville, UConn, Pitt and Syracuse or Villanova. Hey, people! This is why we play the games. It doesn’t matter what it looks like on paper.

Of all these teams, Louisville is the one I'd least like to see make the Championship game. It's my personal dislike for Rick Patino. He single handedly almost destroyed the Boston Celtics. He obviously is successful at the college level...just keep him away from the Celtics.

Last night’s music/poetry event
The Ninth Annual Women Composers Festival presented an evening of chamber music performances combined with the poetry of the Riverwood Poetry Series. I have never participated in anything like this before, and it was such an honor to be part of it. The performances—musical and poetic—were outstanding. Let’s give Minta White and Heather House a big round of applause for their vision and hard work. Hopefully we will have more of this type of entertainment.

I’m finally gonna get hitched!
Don’t go getting all excited here. I’m headed off to Liberty Honda in Hartford this afternoon to have the bike rack hitch installed on my Honda Fit Sport. While the service department is installing the hitch, the parts department will be assembling the rack. The two will be united and I’ll finally be able to get my bike to the shop for spring maintenance. Nice weather is coming and I’m itching to hit the road. I’ll have pictures of course.
