We're Not In Kansas Anymore
Nothing interrupts Saturday night dinner plans more than a NCAA playoff tournament upset.
Imagine this. We're at a lovely, quiet, TV-less Brooklyn restaurant and I notice that my husband is starting to twitch. I've finally convinced him to pull himself away from the TV and the all encompassing NCAA playoffs, to join some friends for dinner.
I hear his blackberry vibrate in his pants pocket. I shoot him the stink eye and he keeps his hands on the table. The vibrations continue.
I know that its not our kids calling because they always call me first and my pants are not vibrating.
"Do you want to get that?" my friend asks.
He excuses himself from the table and heads into the bathroom. It can only be one thing...basketball news...big basketball news. Minutes later he returns and announces the "you're not going to believe this" item.
Northern Iowa had just taken down the favored Kansas.
I end up getting the biggest smile from this declaration. Why? because I love it when I'm always right.

.and that is why I am glad my husband isn't into any sport except scuba diving. While we can't get his pant to vibrate during a night out , he can kill you while at home with ......."watch this....did you see that ......ooohhh look where they are diving " but that can't be as bad as the rest ....Happy March Madness to all and to all 2 points !

Look being a hockey nut from Pittsburgh and having a neighbor from Detroit what do you do? I know what I would say "get out the golf clubs, the Masters golf is coming" Go Tiger!
