The good life


Temperatures hit the 70s today. The sun was shining. I raced out of the office as soon as I could to come home and work in the yard. And for supper, Kates and I threw a few hamburgers on the grill.

It’s a new week. Spring officially arrives on Wednesday, and we’re fresh off a weekend that saw us having some fun on the road and spending more quality time …

We spent Saturday in Point with Orrin and Kelly, checking out Orrin’s sweet new apartment, eating lunch at a cozy sandwich place and taking advantage of the brisk weather with a stroll on the river walk. Then on Saturday night, I got to have some playtime with my favorite dog, Chloe, in between catching another good dose of March Madness. And on Sunday, it was all about Parker, as the family gathered to watch him star in the church musical and have a lasagna lunch in his honor …

… The only blemish on the weekend was listening to Wisconsin lose to UNLV-- a game they had in their grips -- on the radio during the ride home …

For the sake of my bracket, I also was sad to see Texas, Washington State and Maryland get booted this weekend. Then again, none of that matter, after riding the highs and lows of so many close, close games …

And if Kansas continues to run as well as they did against Niagara on Friday night and then Kentucky last night, I’ll be one happy man.

And I’m already a happy man.
