March is perhaps the greatest month for sports. Spring training is underway, the NHL and NBA are finishing up the last months of their season, and college basketball is everywhere. This last week there were exciting games on every night and almost every team in college basketball still had a chance, even if very small, to win a national championship.
After the selections on Sunday I have already filled out 10 tournament brackets. I do a few version of a serious bracket, then several fun brackets. For fun this year I did things like which place would I rather live, and used a random number generator along with a formula I made for the number range 1 through (10 + (Tourney Seed * 2)). All day Thursday through Sunday I’ll be checking scores, using lunch time to watch games, and checking on my brackets. There isn’t a more exciting time in sports, and I love the madness.
Wyoming didn’t make the NIT this year. I think loosing to Air Force at home may have really hurt our chances. We are going to be playing in the CBI tournament and get at least one more home game.
I have started prepping things for my garden. I have a new grow light and seed heating mat. In a month or so I will start some seedlings with hopes of transplanting in June. This year I am growing cherry tomatoes, carrots, peas, and pumpkins. I am also going to start some flowers from seeds I collect from last year. I am trying to decide if I want to build another 8′ x 4′ Garden box to grow a few more things. I really like the one i have that I made last year. As the temperature warms I’ll probably do it.
