Spring means March Madness


This week's Sports Illustrated has a great article about how out-of-control college basketball fans have become. Fans and students are not only threatening players with e-mails, phone messages and at the games, they're terrorizing the players' families when they come to watch their kids play. The author comments that it'll only get worse until the NCAA, college presidents, and coaches start working to stop this fan abuse. Click here for the on-line article.

It has been really nasty and raw here today - temperatures in the 40s with drizzle and damp. It's supposed to be near 70 on Monday. Next, though, they're calling for snow showers on Tuesday. Sounds kind of like spring, doesn't it.

We went to the symphony tonight, and the first half was really good. There was a guest violinist, and he is only 28! And playing a 1667 Stradavarius. Exceptional. Unfortunately, sitting that still really cramped John's shoulder, and he was just miserable by intermission. So we left and missed the Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances. He thought since he can manage basketball games, the concert would be okay. He said he thought it was because he couldn't move it around very much. He's having to learn how far he can push.

Today's photo was taking in our front yard this afternoon. It's a little early spring flower, possibly an early columbine.
