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:

Good Morning and why won't that snooze just turn off!!

Well, that was certainly an interesting weekend.
Let's see, it started out with a trip to Adventure Aquarium and ended with, well, what looked like the end of the world.
In between, there was an improbable Villanova basketball victory, a beautiful weather weekend that sent everybody outside without jackets by Sunday afternoon, an improbable Tiger comeback and marble-sized hail banging on our heads.
On the whole, though, it was way too short. For some reason, that seems to be the way in our times.
It seems like you just get done work Friday, then have to hear the alarm ringing Monday morning. In between becomes a blur. We go from here to there to here to there.
You wake up one morning, figure you have a lot of time to enjoy anything, then, boom, it's time to go back to work.
Now, I'm not complaining here. In a world where companies are cutting jobs like preschoolers do construction paper, it's good to have a job.
It just seems, there's never any time to do anything.
Then again, maybe the spring will finally get here this week.
By the way, don't think time is flying, remember this:

Good Morning and welcome to the bleary eyed!

A long weekend was tipped off by a long night of the Oscars. The question here is how to do you explain all these things. Things that don't seem to make much sense.
First, you have to look at the sun, the clouds and the stars. See them shine and know there is more out there than just a blade of grass.
Then, make the best of any situation you can. Go to work. Pay the bills. Play with the children. Eat good meals. Read books. See movies. Watch television.
That is, unless the television is tuned to the Oscars. Sure, there are some good speeches and some interesting fashions, but, for the most part, the Oscars are boring TV.
In a world where GM is laying off 47,000 after getting an influx of government money, I want to see song and dance, not a costume designer rattling off a list of names.
In a world where we are stuck with an unending war (and unending wars all over the globe), we need escapism. This year's Oscar show gave us some, but was still bogged down in slower than slow moments.
Also, somebody please tell me why the show needs to stretch on longer than three hours.
