Even though I’ll be working at least one of these weekend days, I’m looking forward to it being Friday, and getting to the weekend. I firmly believe that. (See what I did there?). So, in the NCAA (college basketball) tournament, last night, I was correct on three of my four picks. That puts me at… Continue reading Friday Firm

Okay, so we’re down to the sweet 16 in the NCAA (college basketball) tournament. Eight games between today and tomorrow. I’ll go ahead and make my picks for all eight games today. So far, I am 32 out of 48 in correct picks for the tourney. Not great, by any means, but doing okay. The… Continue reading Thursday Picks

J and I stayed up entirely too long last night, talking after darts. I’m a solid hour behind where I should be by this time of day. Oh well, time to wake up! We had drama last night in our Tuesday night team darts league (See You Next Tuesday). One team had to cancel/reschedule with… Continue reading Wakeup Wednesday

For the first time in two weeks, we will be playing team darts tonight. We took last Tuesday off, as it was St. Patrick’s day. We play our team league in an Irish Pub and knew the place was going to be packed. So… Tonight, J’s team (3 Amigos) will be playing a team that… Continue reading Turnaround Tuesday

Yup. You just can’t get away from it. Monday comes, goes and then comes back again. Whatcha gonna do? The “big dance” (NCAA basketball tournament) is down to 16 teams, now. There were eight games yesterday, of which I picked six results correctly. All-in-all I went 32 out of 48 in the first and second… Continue reading More Monday?

How did the weekend get this close to the end, already? Sigh… Yesterday, for my picks in the “big dance,” (NCAA basketball tournament) I got five out of eight picks correct, making me 26 out of 40, so far, for the tournament. Not exactly impressive. Here are my picks for today’s games. After today/tonight, the… Continue reading Suddenly Sunday

There are a lot of undecideds involved with today— at least from my end. I am definitely going to drive to begin the day. J is hosting the final tryouts for the state team in our team darts league (See You Next Tuesday). I have no real interest in it, but I also don’t blame… Continue reading Slipshod Saturday

I didn’t do real well when it coms to picks in the “big dance.” (NCAA men’s basketball tournament). Yesterday, I went 10 out of 16. We’ll see how I do in the other 16 games being played today, in the first round. Here goes: Akron vs Texas Tech Texas Tech Santa Clara vs Kentucky Santa… Continue reading Friday Picks

The NCAA basketball (college) tournament starts in earnest, today. (There were four “play-in” games on Tuesday and Wednesday), but now the field is narrowed to 64 teams and games can begin. I wasn’t as avid a follower, this year, but for the hell of it, I’ll make my picks for the first round (today and… Continue reading Thursday Mishmash

I’m feeling weak in the pocketbook. My car repairs were very high yesterday AND I couldn’t drive until almost the end of the day because of how long the repairs took. So, today, I’m hoping to make up for it with a long and, hopefully, profitable day of driving. My Colorado Avalanche (NHL hockey) have… Continue reading Weak Wednesday
