Made a fire in the fireplace Friday night. Not that it was really cold enough, but I've still got some of last year's firewood left and it was kind of damp and chilly - so the fire was nice.
Just finished having some cheese stuffed pasta with a homemade sauce. In a little olive oil I sauteed up some mushrooms, onion and then added some chopped up spinach at the very end. Cooking everything took all of five minutes. Very fresh and good.
Got a load of laundry going right now. After that, it'll be a relaxing evening and ready for work next week.
What else . . . what else . . .?
Oh yeah - NC STATE knocked off number 1 seed Villanova to advance to the NCAAT Sweet 16!!!!!
What a great time I've had this year watching State basketball. Being a Wolfpack fan is a roller coaster ride for sure.
This season was supposed to be a rebuilding year - and maybe, just maybe, if we got lucky, an NIT post season.
And things looked a little bleak in January when we got into a slump.
Then we started getting more consistent and then started pulling off some upsets (Dook, UNCheats, Louisville) and almost upsetting Virginia and ND.
All the time we'd mix in an inexplicable awful game - I guess just to see if the fans were awake and paying attention. LOL
Making it to the second weekend is well beyond any body's expectation.
Anything more is icing on the cake.
Also - Go Dook, ND, Louisville and (gasp!) even UNCheats!
Addendum
Of the 16 teams left - 5 are ACC; 11 are everybody else.
Of the 5 ACC teams - Finally, as it is supposed to be - 3 are from the Triangle - each about 20 miles from the other 2.
The only other place that comes even close to being basketball nuts like the Triangle is Kentucky - Louisville.
Kansas - Wichita State have a good rivalry. But it's more like a JV rivalry. Good, but not great.
I expected Virginia to lose their second game. Slow down play is not defense. It's just slow down play.
The State - Louisville game is a tossup. Winner faces (most likely) Oklahoma. Who (whom?) should be considered the serious favorite vs. State or Louisville.
At this point - you just don't know for sure who is going to make it to the Final Four. Well, except for Kentucky. History tells us it will be the 1 through 3 seeds with an occasional Cinderella.
I'm still liking Dook - Kentucky for the Championship.
