Just Some Thoughts

After a third-straight crazy weekend on the road, I think I'm finally settling back into normalcy in Erie. I have an interesting blog topic for tomorrow. I was going to do it tonight but my Celtics, who are coming off a huge win in San Antonio, are playing the Rockets (winners of 22 in a row) on TNT. I wouldn't miss that for the world.

I'm watching it right now. The Celtics are up by 10 in the third quarter and are threatening to end the streak. It is fantastic to be a fan of the best team in the NBA and even though media types don't consider my boys the best team in the NBA, I'm fine with them having to prove themselves every time out. They play nasty, mean and confident. I love it.

The NCAA Tournament starts in two days. If you want my bracket breakdown, check www.thebuckeyebunch.com. To make it brief, I don't see any big upsets this year. All the teams below a three seed just aren't very good other than Pitt. And I think Pitt burned itself out in the Big East Tournament. My Final Four: Tennesee, Kansas, Texas, UCLA with UCLA winning it all. I really do like Memphis and if they can get by Pitt and Texas (in Houston), they'll probably win it all. I just think its bracket is too tough.

With spring and summer right around the corner, I'm starting to look forward to it. It will probably be really hectic with wedding planning, but there will be plenty of opportunities to get out to baseball games, head out to Presque Isle and hopefully take in a couple of concerts. I was hoping to make it to a Third Day show on April 6 but can't find any one to go with me. Right now it looks like my next concert stop will be April 26 in Youngstown...Phil Keaggy...Master & The Musician Tour.
