Should it be amazing that driving 9 hours round trip to drop off all the other humans in the house and return to just two cats (again) makes the house so quiet? Too bad March Madness has to wait until Thursday. At least I get a couple of days to wrap myself in Orange and scream at the TV...even in my brain. Syracuse University is looking good taking the Big Ten championship over the weekend. Here is some pre-tourney chirping about how SU and Wake Forest got stiffed in the draw. Yawn. Burlington Vermont is going to be a sad place before we¹, with any luck, play Old Dominion on Saturday. Why Old Dominion? Only because I like saying "Old Dominion", that's why.

¹[Ed.:we now have adopted SU as our phoney alma mater - and are looking for continuing legal education courses to take there to justify the association less tenuously than the ability to buy orange clothing or a coney dog. BTW - avoid the coney dogs, I say.]
