March Madness - Everywhere!!

Hi Folks,

It's March Madness everywhere....Of course the college hoops championships are going on, but also Spring is here and it's warming up.  People are getting out, getting their yards ready for summer, hiking, biking, and all around feeling good about the Winter being behind us.

I'm excited about Spring as well and March Madness, too.  I'm one of the guys that enjoy the NCAA Basketball Championships.  So, while watching the games the other day I did some sketching and drew up a couple cartoons (I drew them with pen and colored them in Photoshop).

So let's talk a little college hoops.  My three teams are still in the hunt for a title; Wisconsin, Marquette, and Arizona - I'm probably the only person on the planet with those loyalties.

Being from Wisconsin originally, I'm a Wisconsin Badgers and Marquette Golden Eagles fan...and with the tournament field whittled down to 16 teams - both of my favorites are still in it.

I moved to Arizona with my family as a kid (in 8th grade), and so I pull for U of A and ASU too.  And, I'm excited to see the University of Arizona Wildcats still in the tourney as well.  They've had good teams for many years, but I think they're a surprise in the tournament this year.

Being back in Arizona, we had a pretty warm Winter and our spring focus is a little different.  I'm getting the plants and yard squared away, but preparing for the long hot Summer.  Making sure the pool's ready and working on a couple of outdoor projects.  Friday, I'll be going for a ride with friends around southern Arizona.  Should be a lot of fun.

Whatever your March Madness consists of - enjoy the change of seasons.  It won't be long before the dog days of Summer are here and things will change again.

Back to the tournament -- how will my teams do?  I don't know.  They're all long shots to finish as champions.  But, I'm proud of them all.  They've all gone much further than anyone would have predicted.  However - they're all three still alive and anything can happen....March Madness - Gotta Luv It!!  Enjoy Everyone!
