The kids are abed, the night’s quieting down, and my mindset is pretty good. Tomorrow I will not go to work as I must stay home and help my young outlaw daughter convalesce as she recovers from the flu. She was in pretty good spirits all day long, but the doctor said she ought to stay home through Wednesday, but we suspect she’ll be back in daycare on Tuesday. Some good things happened today. To whit:
- Birthday fun. I got me some cool swag. My birthday was a couple of days ago, but I was out of town, Baby Girl had some flu, so we partied tonight. Hide the breakables. For my birthday my dear wife bought a couple of tickets to Merlefest for the Friday shows; that means I’ll get to see the Avett Brothers, a band that is in heavy play in my little world right now. I’m taking extra panties so’s I can hurl them up on stage to demonstrate my fanboyishness.
- An email from my good friend Dean, who has invited me once again to invest in his precious NCAA Basketball pool. This year? This year I kick some ass and take home the winnings.
- The Heels won the ACC Tournament. They are one of my more favorite college hoops teams, and while I’ll not go so far as to paint my considerable torso sky blue and confuse all manner of feathered creatures, I do like to see them win.

Al,
Damn….Merlefest with the Avett Bros.. Those guys are awesome. We saw them at e-town a few month back. Happy belated birthday. I was actually thinkin’ ’bout ya.
I also contribute to a blog. I think you’ll really dig my latest post here (you may have to scroll down a day or two depending on when and if you check it out): http://ncsl.typepad.com/the_thicket/
Still awake? Yep. It’s riveting stuff.
We’re headed over to the Pepsi Center tomorrow to watch us some 1st round games. In the nightcap, we’ll be sitting in the midst of the Fightin’ Eagles section trying to pull Winthrop through to an upset over Wash. State. I’m trying to talk Amy into wearing nothing but eagle feathers. It should be a fun day.
I hope you might still be able to squeeze in a Rocky Mountain trip, but I understand if it doesn’t work.
Hope to talk to you soon.
