March is such a crappy month weather wise in Maine. We live with the reality that Winter has not fully left us, nor is Spring fully here. It warms up just to chill down and snow again. I am convinced that this cycle is designed by God so that Maine does just slip into a giant mud hole as the snow melts. We need the process of melting and freezing to keep us where we are. None of that is true; I just need to tell myself something when I am out shoveling yet again in another March snow storm.
So moving on to what I LOVE about March - - - MARCH MADNESS BABY!!! (said in best Dickie V voice) The time of year when college basketball rules our world. There are far too many late nights! A few quick things you should know about me if you don't already: 1. My dad coached for 20 years and passed on his love for basketball to his girls. 2. We are all HUGE Duke fans!! 3. I don't have cable anymore so I don't get to watch much college hoops anymore :(
My bracket is all filled out and games started yesterday. The dance has begun - 64 teams to 1 team! There have already been some upsets, which is part of the fun cause there is ALWAYS upsets, but who? Brackets can get blown up early if you make the wrong choice. I'm in 2 pools this year. One with a few friends from work and one with the BeFree Community (thanks for letting me join you)! Since I don't get to watch many games anymore my brackets are not as strong as they used to be, so my hopes of winning are small. We all want to win the bragging rights for the next year, but really in March we all win because we get hours and hours of college basketball.
March Baby - The Best Worst Month of the Year!!!
