humble pie

well, i've eaten a slice of humble pie this week.  a far cry from my rantings of just a year ago...yep, the NCAA tournament came to an Monday evening with Hannah and her dad clued to the TV screen til the very last second.  Hannah, after all, had much at stake and 1st place was in her reach if Louisville pulled out a victory.  thus good reason to stay up several hours past the usual "school night" bedtime.  i had long since crashed on the couch, sadly, as my spot in eighth place had been secured long before.  (Florida~ you let me down!!)  i'm good, though....happy and comfortable with passing on the glory and bragging rights.  someone else should experience the fun of it all for a change, and this year~ it is Hannah!  way to go, sweetie!

so, Hannah has first pick from the basket of loot and there has been much conversation about who will pick what...regardless, whether i do or don't get the coveted Tim's card (or "donut card", as AJ prefers to call it, who, incidentally, has full understanding of delayed gratification.  he has impressively deduced that passing over the tempting packages of candy will result in a later purchase of donuts~more than once~ just for him. :) that's my boy!), another fun March of basketball entertainment has come to an end.  the standings are as follows...

1. Hannah
2. AJ
3. Layla
4. Jeff
5. Adam
6. Joelle
7. Hudson
8. last year's champion...Me!  apparently it's all or nothing with my brackets...

good times...can't wait til next year!
