NCAA

I don't watch a lot of sports, but I LOVE the Final Four games every year. Since I don't follow through the season, I just pick a favorite at the last minute. Sometimes it's because of their jersey color, or coach's name, or favorite player, or a team's status as underdog. Tonight, of course, I was hoping for an Illinois win (they were down 9 or 10 when I turned it on). Alas, it wasn't meant to be. I'll pick somebody tomorrow night for the women's side. My favorite sports phrase of all time is, "I hate the Vols." But I like watching Pat Summit; women's b-ball is the total exception to my favorite phrase. Too bad they didn't make it this year.

If you're in Arkansas, you'll want to know about house bill 1883. It's a bill that would ban smoking in restaurants that earn >30% of their revenues from food (not alcohol). I e-mailed my legislator and was totally impressed to get a response from him. He is planning on voting FOR it. You can go here and click on "Legislators" to find an e-mail address. Let them know you're fed up with it!!! Thanks to Susanna Shermer for passing that along.

I've noticed yellow pollen on the cars for the first time today. Time again for daylight savings, lawnmowers, Flonase, and golf clubs!
