All four number one seeds in the Final Four? It may be historic, but it’s also boring. I don’t care about any of these teams.
Thank goodness the baseball season has started.
Busy filling in for the Easter Bunny, who refused to work this early in the year.

No one asked why I chose to come to upstate New York in the wintertime. So I’ll tell you.
Several months ago my sister told me that her son (aka my nephew AND godson) was trying out for the spring musical at his high school. While he’s done some acting, including playing the lead [...]
