Nutmeggers

Greetings from Connecticut, home of those pesky Huskies. We are always excited to have the pool roll around. Willow's been asking about this "baseball" pool for months now.

Go South Dakota State!

Hi All. I'm Dave Wallenberg, up the street. At least that's how I've announced myself every time I've called Chris and Maggi since they moved to Baden Street many moons ago. Alas, they now have a portable moving box parked in front of their home and I am already missing them. But we did talk Chris into negotiating into his lucrative contract with the Maine law school a reciprocity requirement that a bull moose must be shipped from Maine to Baden Street as of June 15, so all things considered, I think we're gonna make out on the deal. He can forage in the remains of their garden until plump and then we'll have a lottery for Moose hunting season. Mmmmmm! I am so excited that South Dakota State got into the tournament this year! And they just went Div. I a year ago! And I have them beating Indiana in the first round!!! For an old South Dakota boy........ wait, my wife is just informing me that it is San Diego State....d oooh! I hope Indiana loses anyway! Thanks Michael for arranging this whole blog deal. Just don't tell Jonathan K. how to get on here!! Hee Hee. Good Luck All. Dave Up the Street.

Now the party can start

Hey All,
Now that I'm here, let the true bashings begin. As I told Chris, the only thing I'm truly looking forward to is seeing God crush the spirits and souls of all Oral Roberts fans. Is there a team that is closely aligned with secular humanism, and what would their mascot be; just a big brain perhaps?

the wonders of madness

I just caught my first annual glimpse of Steve Lavin! Yet another reason to look forward to March madness. If I could just run my fingers through his hair...yet I fear it is just glue that shines and beckons me and I would be trapped. Madness. Madness.

Hi everyone

I love this time of year! I get to reconnect with all you nice people and then crush your spirits as I roar into first place with my amazing prognosticating. This year my blogging will be few and far between as time on the computer is limited by when Alexander sleeps. Otherwise, my posts look something like this: dfAJFklnefihfn;wgek$^#@. He will be entering picks though. We figure we'll put the team names in front of him and whichever team gets more spit up on it will be his pick, you know, just like the way his dad picks.

Mike, the blog looks really nice. I especially like the orange color font. Is that a subtle way of saying Syracuse takes the title? Ruth, do your loyalties lie with Kansas now? Jonathan, don't you love that trophy you got for winning last year that I was suppose to get but didn't and now I am sure to get lots of crap from my pool friends about?

Let the madness begin!

Right now, I'm tied for first place

Dear hermits, Get picking. Your teams, not your noses, or anything else worse than that. I see that the CBS analyst has Northwestern State beating my beloved Hawkeyes in the first round. Great, that's all I need. Let's just say this: Iowa goes out in the first round, pool's over.
