March Maddness! Bring it!

Derric and I go through pretty rocky times during the month of March and it is all due to a little something called NCAA Basketball! We get mean and heartless and show no sympathy for each other when the others team looses! We have our huge bracket taped to the wall with our personal picks on smaller brackets to the sides. Every year we bet on it-Derric always wants a new pair of shoes and mine varies year to year from having him paint the crib for me to a new cuisinart. The past three years I have smoked Derric by only picking teams that I thought their name was cool, like Gonzaga or Villanova. Or simply by which uniform I liked better! Yet for some reason I have never gotten my prizes and he always ended up with a new pair of shoes??? Of course by the end of the tournament we watch "One Shinning Moment" and get the chills and cry then hug and say goodluck next year! As of now we are both tied with 430 pts! Could be a good year for Derric, but I doubt it...He has Boston College going to the final four. Now thats a boring name, I never would have picked them!

Here Derric is looking hopeful. I am just out for blood.
