Turns out the Knicks may actually be good. Of course, my hopes are not high. They tricked me back in the 90’s… twice. You know how it goes: fool me once shame on you… fool me twice shame on me. There is no 3rd act. Instead I am going to sit back and remove all expectation. This is exactly how I treat my Cyclones in the big dance, no matter the seed. It’s a 2 btw, and they open against SD State. I haven’t done a bracket. I cannot say for sure that I will do a bracket, given how out of touch I am with March Madness.
What I am focused on and curious about lately are these wild free agency moves. The Jets are making moves and taking swings to get a ‘ship. The Giants are not. Full rebuild mode. They are building the Buffalo way and I am not here for it. The Buffalo way hasn’t won anything. Nor will the Giants for some time. Eagles have a shot. Ravens, Texans, Jets… all of these teams are playoff bound.
In Track there are no ‘Playoffs’ but there is a City and State Championships. I’m looking forward to seeing how the kid does. He has a real shot, unlike his little brother who is done for the season but still is trying to convince me to let him play football through an injury he refuses to run track through. I still feel like he is young and has a chance, but his time to be young is fading. He needs to figure his stuff out fast and get his priorities lined up. Colleges are watching.
Some Thoughts:
- For the first time in my life, I realized Easter isn’t really a fixed date. This is of course because of what Easter actually is, which is NOT a religious holiday. See, it falls on the Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, making it a Pagan holiday which has been fully appropriated. No, it follows Good Friday you say? Well, curiously, Good Friday is based on the Easter date…. which is based on the lunar cycle… which is Pagan and reflective of a celebration of Ostara… Yeah it gets really interesting after that.
