So Close, I Can Taste It...

As of this week the NCAA Tournament is a mere 16 weeks away and already the natives are getting restless. Cries have been going out, "Only six months until the tourney!" The countdown has begun and it looks like this time around will be the last time it happens on Ashland Avenue.

As that is the case, Steve (a.k.a. LD) is already setting the stage of tomfoolery. He has eagerly passed along this as an indicator of what the competitive stakes will be this time around. He writes, "Forget crackers, we're doing tihs! Two conditions: 1) Not inside - it will be on the deck. 2) I do not sit next to Brendan during this competition."

Given the Cracker Volcano incident during this year's tournament, that last condition is completely understandable.

Now is the time to get your act together, friends. Not March. Start practicing.
