One Out of Two

As most people know, we are in the final days of the NCAA basketball tournament. I was rooting for Duke on the men's side because of Maine native Cooper Flagg. I was rooting for University of Connecticut on the women's side because of Paige Bueckers (no Maine connection that I am aware of).

The UConn women did not let me down. Congratulations to the Huskies on their championship win today!

I don't really have much to say about Duke's semi-final game last night. A heavy sigh pretty much sums it up.

Tomorrow night's championship game between Houston and Florida doesn't start until 8:50 p.m. This is far too late. I don't think the scheduling folks care about those of us who live under the constraints of Eastern Standard Time. But since Duke isn't playing, I may just go to sleep early.

In other news, I bought a ukulele!

Dad 760: Spring Snow, Soon Mow

(Dad writes today. I worked late, so I'm posting it a few hours after he penned it! ~ Tracy)

Derf Here!

Not a bad day. It's 3:04 P.M. and the temp is around 40 degrees. Spring is trying to emerge. Will it ever get here? I hope soon!

Supposed to rain and snow tomorrow. We have had annoying snow the last couple weeks. The good thing about it is that the snow is completely gone the next day. It looks like spring outside with no snow. The grass surely needs some coloring to show it has some life. We hope that tomorrow's snow is the last and doesn't stay on the ground. 

Mowing will be in order in about a month. Must get the front tire of the tractor repaired. Want it to work good for Lew. (I miss not plowing snow and not mowing. Old is not great!)

Done writing for today.

Until next time!

Toodle Pip!

Derf!
