We all know we're going to get some bad weather in April - cold, blustery, more March than May.

I choose to take advantage of this cloudy, blustery day to curl up on the couch with books and tea.

It's funny how we as a society grasp random holidays and sporting events to make life feel more exciting. Like a college basketball tournament.

We know in the overall scheme of things it makes no difference - except to the few players who get recruited for the pros - but we'll still create our brackets and become completely involved with who's winning. The experts would say it makes us feel connected and we vicariously experience "our" team's success.

I say it's just fun. But then, I chose Kentucky to take it all.
