No more MARCH MADNESS. (sigh)  And it ended with a wimper.  Boring game.  Thankfully it was played on a Monday Night.  Poker Night.  That also ended with a wimper.  I did pick UNC.  But so did Obama.  Didn’t matter.  My brackets were destroyed when Michigan State decided they were contenders. But David doesn’t always beat Goliath.  And Dino doesn’t always win at poker- despite a series of King High flushes and Full Houses.  I wonder if the president plays poker?  I’m going with “yes.”  And he can probably “bluff” really well.  I imagine you have to when you’ve got that gig.

But now it’s April. Taxes.  Baseball.  And Taxes.  Birthdays.  Ohio State Spring Football Game.  Did I mention taxes?  Actually I filed back in February and got a refund.  I applied it to, uh…taxes.  Ah, The Circle of Strife.  On April 5th there was a birthday.  My daughter turned 27!  How can that be?  How can I have a daughter who is the same age as my maturity level?  I have a BIG birthday coming later this month.  I’m turning 50!  But it’s the new 40, right?  Great.  I HATED 40!  I’m going with “it’s the new 35.”  The 30’s were awesome.  The 40’s were more like keeping a car you should’ve traded in before it started nickel/diming you to death.  The 50’s?  They will be full of detemination and denial.  At least one of those attitudes should be good for an adventure or two.  But they say that age is relative.  And relatives can be stressfull.  And stress can kill. So, I guess the lesson is- don’t hang around your relatives too much because you may kill them.  Yeah…I’ve become very wise at almost 50.  That’s enough for today.
