March madness is over

So the college basketball season is over and Florida
won again, but what really matters. The bracket
pools! So for the nth year I hosted a tourney on
Yahoo! sports and I usually do ok. This is the first
year where anything other than bragging rights was at
stake, and with that first came the first time we had
someone do so well (picked all of the last 7 games,
only missed 11 out of 63) - Tarek, the physics prof
at UFlorida - and someone do so poorly - Mandi, who
chose mostly teams with feline mascots to win. One
got in the top 0.2% and the other bottom 5% out of 2
million teams - very impressive year!
But what blew me away - today I was awarded the booby prize for coming in last place in the chief resident's pool - with over 20 teams! Oh how the "mighty" have fallen! What a crazy month that was. Where I had blizzards and rain and hail and winds and lots of sun in between. Now that it's April it's been mostly 30F daily. Aack! Keeps the wardrobe in constant flux.
