Tourney Time!

Ahhh, March! The weather is warming (at least for the moment), the Charles' ice has melted, trees are beginning to bud and spring is on its way. I'm loving the new daylight savings time! Longer days are here again... Although, after a recent business trip, I am a bit on the slow side having transitioned three hours instead of two. But, life is good because the Tourney is finally here!!!

Have you filled out your bracket today?

Only about an hour twenty to go... My stomach always goes into knots because I tend to care about how my bracket stands in comparison to others. But really, what fun would the Tourney be without a little anxiety? :) I love it.

This time of year always reminds me of a favorite teacher who passed away early in my college career. Mr. Main introduced me to the Men's Tourney in high school and to Kentucky who has since become "my" team – it’s funny how certain things stay with you. During my freshmen year in college, I couldn't wait to visit his family during my spring break and show him my bracket. Before I made it to their house that week, he suddenly passed away. Every year at this time, those memories resurface and I'm thankful that I had the chance to know him and his family.

So, here's to you Mr. Main! And, here's to one of my annual highlights, the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. I can't wait to see what happens this year...
