Solo

Just got back from taking my dad to a couple of follow up appointments following his hospital stay. Things are looking good so I should be able to fly to San Francisco as planned. See y"all there!

I just redid the math and PerusingOne and I can tie if Baylor beats both Duke and West Virginia. What are the odds?

And I'm officially done. My bracket was pretty much a pile of ashes the moment Kansas lost. It's down to Couchie or LdyJ.

Forget that. If Lehigh beats Kansas and Vermont beats Syracuse, we should book her a fancy suite in Reno and throw her a party.

You've gotten one out of three right. Check your standings here: http://findingclayaiken.mayhem.cbssports.com/opm/standings

Houston?!? Are you insane? Actually, I have a feeling this is one of those years I burn my bracket after the first round. There isn't really a dominant team out there. All of them can be beaten on any given day. ETA: I just looked at Karen's complete bracket and that is not the craziest thing about it. You know a 16 seed has never beaten a 1 seed, right? Did you let the cats fill out the bracket?

There are these things called "hands free" headsets. I believe you have several. Of course they're in one of the hundred boxes you haven't unpacked yet so I'll give you a few hours.

I'm home if anyone wants to call me since they aren't answering their phone. *cough*Scarlett*cough*

KAndre just informed us that her real first name means "pure" in Scandinavian. You can imagine our response.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I've accepted that I can't be 12 forever but I'm not ready to put my actual year of birth in my profile. I hope next year we can all celebrate at a Clay concert!

Couchie just called to report that she got her ticket and they are heading inside now. She feels strange because they haven't seen one person they know other than Jerome.

If anyone is still awake, Clay is back answering questions at the OFC right now.

{{{ldyj}}} I'm so sorry. Your mom must have been a wonderful person in life to be so thoughtful and generous even after death.

Hey! I was going to get around to it. I just thought it would be better to have a firm time and place decided before inviting people who aren't familiar with our special brand of planning or lack thereof. Remember how we scared off Couchie's friend in San Francisco? And hey y'all! I'm alive. Just haven't had any thoughts to share since Clay hasn't been singing.

I would like to point out that I'm not in Florida so that distinctive laugh from the CH cellcert isn't me. Someone *cough*PerusingOne*cough* has been blaming me for her unique laughter which has been showing up on the Clack all these years. Thanks everyone for making me feel like I was there tonight. Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate! to those in need. This is for you KAndre:
