scattered thoughts

The NCAA championship basketball game. The youngster, along with the rest of Gator Nation, is very happy...or sort-of anyway. It's amusing to me that this team just won it all, and the fans can be happy for about one night, and then start fretting over the future. The biggest thing here among Gator fans isn't that they just won the championship, but that coach Billy Donovan might leave, to go to either the University of Kentucky or the NBA. The funniest line I heard after the win though, came on sports talk radio. Some guy called in and asked if, after beating Ohio State for the football championship in January and beating them again for the basketball championship, would this now be considered a rivalry. The answer from the talk show host...

"No, it's not a rivalry at all. That'd be a lot like the rivalry between the hammer and the nail."

The house...no progress really. The up side is the weather seems to be cooling off, so it won't be hot upstairs at least through the weekend. The wife is dealing with it a bit better. I think getting the house back in order...things back on the walls, furniture back where it belongs, after the finishing the floors, has helped a lot.

The Masters, a tradition unlike any other. No shit. In my opinion, it's the most overrated, stuffy, elitist, Bushwood-like event in professional golf, starts today. Yawn. Have another green jacket Tiger. Hootie and the blowhards, it's your weekend. Enjoy.

Barry Bonds - just fade away, you human rhoid. Nobody cares that you might get the baseball home run record, for three reasons. First, you're a complete asshole. Second, even though nobody can prove it yet, we all know you cheated to get where you are. Third, you're a complete asshole.

Pete Rose - you can fade right behind him. You made a deal that keeps you out of the hall of fame. Honor that. Shut up and move on.
