Things We Love

Jameson loves to make books. A few days ago he made a book about our family and our favorite things. Here is one of my entries into the book.

Sounds about right.

There's Always the NIT

I can't remember the last time my NCAA bracket picks sucked so bad. It only figures that it has happened during my first annual Seize the Bacon Bracket Challenge. It's one of those years where you're probably better off making wild ass guesses. At least that seems to be working for Sue, our current leader going into today's games. Sue admittedly "doesn't know anything about basketball." Which apparently is what it takes to succeed this year. To make matters worse, she pledges allegiance to the Kentucky Wildcats. Ugh. It doesn't get much better when you look at who is hanging on in a tie for second place. Monch and Dom have just as little basketball knowledge as Sue, they're just not man enough to admit it. And lets give a special pat on the back to Houser. Good effort buddy. I think you got three picks correct.

All is not lost, though. This still gives me a valid excuse to buy bacon flavored lip balm.

Seize the Bacon

I'm not a diehard sports fan, by any means, but I do loves me the NCAA Tournament. And the first week of the tournament is especially awesome because it's also the week of St. Patrick's day. And the opening round play in game is hosted here in Dayton. Back in my days of gainful employment I would actually take off the entire week, attend the play in game, drink lots of beer and enjoy the all day basketball coverage of the March Madness package.

But, my week long holiday is a thing of the past. (Because every week is a holiday now that I'm a stay at home parent, right?) It's not quite going to be a week of gluttony and sloth, but there will still be plenty of basketball viewing. And with the NCAA Tournament it's pretty much a given that you also have to have NCAA Tournament Bracket Pools. And with NCAA Tournament Bracket Pools it's pretty much a given that you also have bacon. Which brings us to...
