Day of Rest
Yesterday I watched far too much basketball at the new Sprint Center in downtown Kansas City. Four games in twelve hours.
I could tell you about the games, but most of you probably don't care. ESPN.com has excellent coverage of the tournament, should you care to learn more about it.
Today I have been watching far too much basketball in the basement of my Dad's house in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Various of my uncles are here, and we are sitting around hoping for upsets, only a few of which have been forthcoming so far this year.
Alden has spent the day crawling around on the floor, amusing and delighting us while we watch. So far, she seems not to be much of a college basketball fan. I am working hard to change this.
But today is special for a reason beyond mere basketball. Today is Iggy's fourth birthday.
We gave her a bone.
And took her for a walk.
It is the first day of spring, and we all felt it.
The flowers were out.
Alden stopped a while to smell them.
She was unimpressed.
But then I informed her that Kansas had just won its first-round game against North Dakota State, and she beamed.
Perhaps she's wiser than I thought.
