Comments

Thank you to everyone who has been reading my blog and leaving comments. Please know that I do read them.

I have a question for you though . . . do you think I am ignoring you if I don't respond? I feel like I am ignoring you and I don't like that. I want it to be interactive.

So, from now on I will respond to the comments by adding another comment on that same post. So, if you leave me a comment, you will have to come back and look at those comments to see my reply. I hope that doesn't seem like some slimy sales tactic to keep you coming back.

(Sign hangin' on my blog-door . . . "Please come again soon!")

You don't see that everyday . . .

On my way home today, I saw a teenaged girl riding a horse on the street while talking on her cell phone . . . that struck me as interesting. As you were . . .

March Madness

It's that time of year again . . . March Madness!!

Stats from the front page of yesterday's Rocky Mountain News . . .

There are 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 total number of ways to fill out a bracket.

Odds of a perfect bracket? 9.2 quintillion-to-1.

30 million Americans will participate in office pools this year.

$1.2 billion - How much U.S. employers will lose in productivity during the tourney.

Words to Live By

I haven't watched too much of this current season of Survivor . . . but I did catch a little of this last week's episode. One of the contestants, Yau-man, said that he lived his life by this mantra, which I really thought was good.

Love Many,
Trust Few,
Do Harm to None

My son's drum teacher, Sam, is a high schooler who lives down the street from us. He is a great kid, talented musician and my son really looks up to him.

Well, Sam is in a band that got some great press recently and I wanted to support them and pass that along. I hope I will be able to catch one of their shows pretty soon.

Here is the story . . .
