45F and cloudy but there's only a small chance of rain in the forecast. Looks like NCAA arrived at desired outcome as North Carolina and Gonzaga were probably the two best teams this year. Starting off with 2011 Mac Baren Va #1 in a smooth, straight James Upshall Grade A Dublin, drinking Trader Joe's coffee and waiting for sunrise to go for a good walk this morning.

Two pretty fun games to watch, in my book. Should be a good game Monday. |

Supper was a little sautéed spinach salad using olive oil, mushrooms, red onion and minced garlic. Now enjoying the very underrated McClelland #2020 in a smooth 1/4 bent 1998 J.M. Boswell straight grained freehand with the customary bowl etchings and an amber stem, drinking ice tea with lemon, feeling mellow and bedtime coming on shortly.
