It’s a basketball kinda weekend. Cornell became the first Ivy League team to win an NCAA tourney game in something like 12 years, hopefully keeping a few people from throwing themselves into the gorge for a day or two. It’s also the NYS high school final four, with my old high school taking on – of all teams – Red Hook this morning. Granny is down in DC marching to “celebrate” the Iraq War anniversary. No marching in my immediate future; I’m just trying not to walk. In fact, I’m starting to wonder if I’ll ever be able to walk normally again. It’s kind of discouraging, really. Tomorrow the focus shifts briefly back to health care reform with a big vote looming in the House. Then it’s back to basketball before having to deal with going back to work on Monday. The Vernal Equinox kicks in at 1:32 P.M. EDT this afternoon. Happy Spring!
