And, we are off

That time of year again. I am breaking the rules I've had for the last 2 years by having KU going past the second round. I know I am setting myself up for disappointment but I have a good feeling this year. Anyone who watched the Sunday game against Texas can't imagine them leaving the tournament early.

I took my usual first two days of the tournament off from work. I call them my personal holidays. I am making three exceptions to all-basketball all of the time for the next 4 days.

1) Retirement party for my boss. I am taking a break for an hour sometime this afternoon. I told him that it depended on the game but I feel comfortable knowing I am not missing anything too big. Plus, I need to get some provisions for the next few days, so I can hit the grocery store on my way home.

2) Obama is in Portland tomorrow morning, so I am going to hear him talk. The doors open at 7:30 and he talks at 9:30. He better be on time. Seriously.

3) Possibly an open house with B on Sunday.

I love this time of year.
