A big 'welcome back' to A1 who returns to us from Texas and Mexico after a nice, long spring break. I would be more jealous but: a) I head to FL in a month and b) she is kind enough to house-sit for me while I am gone. Mucho thanks A1. Also, as a side note, the more I think about 'George' and your friend's roommate, the closer I am to not ever wanting sex again. Gah!
So March Madness and Brackets, I am so very there. Today Butler won and Gonzaga lost so I am pretty much in my happy place. I am, like Maestro, so very fucking sick of Butler being referred to as 'Gonzaga of the Midwest' by various sportswriters. As I said succinctly before, Suck It Gonzaga.
I spent some time watching the games. So far on my brackets I suck, but have gotten some games right (WKU vs. Drake) which probably offed others brackets. I also had Gonzaga (of course) going out first round but that is more out of spite than any mythical superpowers I may or may not have.
I plan to watch more games. Oh Happy Athena.

In other happy news, the Chatterbox downtown is hosting a Dyngus Day celebration on Monday. For those that are not of La Porte or South Bend origin, Dyngus Day is a traditional Polish celebration the day after Easter. In La Porte it is celebrated by a bar crawl complete with City TransPorte doing a 'route' from bar to bar all day/night long. The Tavern Association pays for the City buses to run from tavern to tavern and there are various festivities at each. Talked to Sister, I think we shall Dyngus on Monday at the Chatterbox. Be prepared for another 'dear body' post on Tuesday if that plan goes through. I am already thinking I am woefully understocked in bottled water and ibuprofen.
For those who may be interested in participating, there will be a Polish band there and of course drinks for days. A chance to see yours truly completely smashed and polka-ing is something not to be missed!

Have a date this weekend ... will keep you all posted if that turns out to be anything worth mentioning. He is a young'un ... and I think I am crazy for saying yes but with recent events of those my own age I must say that it doesn't appear that 'inconsiderate fuckwad assweasel' is limited to any one age or completely removed from another. More later.

No family Easter this weekend. Family Easter is next weekend at my house. I will welcome any and all family craziness stories on this blog for ridicule/commentary by readers. As for me, I am totally stocking up on booze for next weekend. I will need it.

Received ridiculously cute pictures of my cousin's children in the mail today by way of Easter card. Cannot believe I am related, even remotely, to anything so adorable.

I gave a presentation today to about twenty people regarding grants today. It went well, in fact, so well I now have a few meetings next week with various faculty to get some grants started. I am very pleased.

That is all folks, have a fabulous day and weekend!!
