Another sign that Spring is here in full.....reverse migration. Yes, all you poor folks still dealing with cold NE weather making your way down South to enjoy a taste of what's to come, albeit months from now, in your world. We, of course, love this part of spring as much and more than any part of the year less our first beach day. The first beach day is a cherished and celebrated event that puts the entire family in a great mood in light of the many trips that lie ahead. Anyway, back to friends and family.
My folks firmed up plans this week for their visit in late April. Jennifer's folks were on the phone finalizing plans for their Easter pilgrimage to Daytona with Nancy and Larry. And, we had a surprise visit from our good friend Jeff. Although we razed him about leaving the better 2/3rds of his family in DC, that was apparently not his doing and promised a return trip with Mer and Sam. I told him the more clients he can pick up in FL, the better. We love the company. We enjoyed sharing the hustle of a Cheek family weekend with him and look forward to seeing the whole family in months to come.
Little else to comment on, my March Madness bracket, picked in the waning minutes of time prior to tip off of the first game and with "0" research has proven strong through the first couple rounds. Not a minute of reading led me to believe I would yet again have a slightly rough go at it this year. I'm not known for making it too far past the sweet 16 with any hope of winning. I think this bodes well for the "throw a dart" method used for this years analysis. I will admit I was a homer in some areas, mostly in the finals picking UNC (rough choice given I pretty much bet chalk to the end). Go Heels. Still remember a few trips to UNC from the burg hoping to extend a weekend with Kipp to watch UNC play in the championship game. That was decidedly driven by my desire to be on campus when such a big game was celebrated. What a party that must be! I wouldn't know since it never happened during my college tenure. Regardless, with no connection to any other school, it was an easy pick.
Busy weeks ahead, but little going on in the family. Steady diet of soccer, hockey and swimming for us. Mix in a little zoo and that takes care of it. Keep your fingers crossed that I might sneak out to hunt a redfish or two. Catch up with everyone again soon.

I am so glad I decided to check out your blog at this critical time. I am so pleased that you picked the Heels in your bracket. I guess I am too late to give you help with your research. Here is a helpful hint, the little numbers on the side reflect how good the team is supposed to be. So, pick the lower number more often than not. :-) That is about all the research that you need. The rest is guess work. Go Heels!
