Last nights NCAA Championship game was a lot better than the score would indicate. Every time the Gators stretched their lead, the Buckeyes would make a run. As a true sign of a champion, the Gators responded each time!

If the winner were determined by sweat production, the Buckeyes would be champions. Their coach, Thad Matta, might as well jump in a pool before the game begins. I don't think I have ever seen a coach sweat more profusely. I really like this man though.

There is some speculation that his counter part might be headed to Kentucky as Tubby's replacement. Florida Coach Billy Donovan has done an outstanding job molding a "team" instead of a super star and a supporting cast. I think the starting five all averaged double figures within three points of one another.

Recently I have enjoyed watching a number of re-runs. I have enjoyed "I Love Lucy", "Mayberry", "Bonanza", "Gunsmoke", and "Green Acres" to name a few of the older ones. But on another channel I have enjoyed "Greg and Dharma", "Spin City", and others like "Tool Time".

I particularly got a kick out of the Greg and Dharma episode where they were going to have a second wedding ceremony (to satisfy Greg's Mom). Dharma was in her dress and having a totally blond moment in their apartment playing "Super Bride" when Greg walked in. Greg told her how beautiful she looked. She responded by saying, "You can see me? I thought the Groom couldn't see the Bride in her dress until the ceremony!" Later in the scene, Greg's Mother entered the room and chided Greg, "The Groom can't see the Bride in her dress!" To which Dharma told her, "That invisible Bride stuff wasn't true!"

I'm sorry, I enjoyed that though.

I had thought I might work today. Actually that was the plan until Saturday. Last time I talked with Pat she was taking Memama and Chris to the eye Doctor in Dallas. (Both Memama and Chris have had cornea transplants and this is just a regular appointment). I had asked Pat if I needed to change my schedule to go into Chris' store on Monday in his absence. She told me they would discuss what my schedule needed to be but I never heard from her again. I know she is busy and beginning last week with Pepa's procedure and going then going to Dallas, she has to have a backlog of "to do's". On top of that she is supposed to begin back at school today. (She had taken a month off to deal with a number of issues).

It's not like I can't find something to do around here. There is always a new project. Yesterday I discovered that Krl's vehicle's battery had gone dead while parked in the garage. I think the last time it was driven was Christmas Day. I was afraid the company truck (parked behind it) might be dead as well. The company truck has not been driven since the end of January. Thankfully, the company truck started and I was able to pull up until the bumpers were together and my cables just reached!

Now if I could just get the battery to hold a charge on the lawn mower. I used the backup rope pull to start it all day yesterday. I actually think the battery is going to have to be replaced, but I'm not complaining. The mower is six years old!

Ollie called me yesterday to tell me I got an "A" on my ad copy! I think they are going to throw her to the wolves. She spent time with the GM and the program director and they were sending her to get her pre-employement drug screen while they prepared her contract. Funny thing is Ollie thought she just had to sell the ads and the production crew would write them. WRONG! She is supposed to sell and write the ads! I told her the one I did was the only freebie! After that it is show me the $$$$$$$. Turns out her contract is a one-year with a non-compete clause. There are five stations that share common ownership. She seems to really be excited. When she first began school at Leveland she wanted to go into broadcast journalism. Maybe she has gone full circle! The trick is going to be to stop her on the top side of that circle, cause the bottom half is ugly!

No phone call yesterday pertaining to my job application. I know, it hasn't been that long, (2 work days). I think I am chasing that carrot! I find lots of time I have to chase a carrot to maintain my sanity! (Otherwise my direction is too broad!).

I have three monthly (or quarterly) reports to do. That should take all of an hour! Of course I never have completed the stereo in Blacksheep. But at present there are no plans for Blacksheep to go to work. It seems that the company I have worked for is at a crossroads regarding "past" ownership and "future" ownership. I had brokered a deal between the parties but 'past" hasn't done what they agreed to do! I may recommend that "future" turn around and walk away.

Well, I'm out of here!

Have a day!
