Rise and Shine --- Great, a weekend!

Good Morning and welcome to the start of what could be a huge weekend!

After this morning rain gets out the way, there shouldn't be a damper on the first weekend in April.
Let's see, we have the Villanova playing North Carolina in the Final Four Saturday night. We have a little thing like the World Champion Phillies (still can't type that without thinking it's weird) opening the season Sunday night. That's quickly followed by the rest of baseball's opening day and the NCAA Championship game Monday.
Fill in with what could be a great weather weekend and, well, it's about time.
A week after more job losses, fluctuations in the stock market, the president giving an 80-year old woman an iPod (filled with his speeches nonetheless) and the Secretary of State setting up a conference call only to direct media to a phone sex line, we all need a break.
So, I ask you, what better way than a nice walk outside, maybe a bike ride, some cleaning up around the yard, basketball, baseball and a pizza thrown in to spend a weekend?
Meanwhile, here's an interview with North Carolina coach Roy Williams to get you ready for the Final Four:

RISE AND SHINE

GOOD MORNING, DELAWARE COUNTY!

Is it just me or does Delaware County exist in some kind of bubble? The real world is just something going on outside the borders. Here, the 1950s still live and 'outsiders' are not welcomed. I don't know, maybe I live in a bubble.

Anyway, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of buzz for the NCAA Tournament's Final Four this weekend. It's probably because all the top seeds made it to the national semifinals. That's just plain boring.
Sure, there are some super teams playing, but fans need a real underdog. There's a reason why the Final Four with George Mason was the highest rated in the last 10 years.
This year, ah, power teams from power conferences playing for a title. The only real interesting story is North Carolina coach Roy Williams having to coach against Kansas, the university he walked out on to take the UNC job. Of course, that was after saying he had no interest in North Carolina.
Since everybody needs a little help, take UCLA to win it all. Beating Kansas.
Here's what we really need:
