I think I am going Blind

Well I sat down at my desk this morning and all of a sudden I went blind. All I remember was a bright white light. After about 30 seconds of panic I leaned back in my chair and all was well again.

I know you are probably concerned as much as I was about my health but rest assured I got to the bottom of it. I slowly leaned forward again and the blinding light once again returned. Then I figured it out. It was the sun reflecting off of my "Miller's March Madness" trophy on my desk.

Yes, it is that time of year again. March Madness is the time where I spend hours in research reading hundreds of blogs, articles, opinion polls and celebrity endorsements to determine which pen I am going to use to fill out my bracket. I went with the Paper Mate Profile this year. I used the older model and it had black ink, but you get the idea. The Pilot G-2 10 was a close second this year, but I went with the Paper Mate because I use the Pilots for every day use and this is special. (Black ink=business, Blue ink=personal and Red ink=Out of town appointments)


Well back to me winning the "Miller's March Madness" trophy. My family has two traveling trophies. One for the bowl games and one for the NCAA tournament. Only family members can play in this one. If you marry into the family you can plan but until you say "I Do" you don't get to play. After all we don't want some hussy/punk running away with our trophy.

As inconceivable as it might be, I might not win the trophy again this year. It is in that spirit that I wish other family members good luck.

Keep up the fight

Since I have the football trophy-two years in a row the basketball must remain in male side of the family. So good luck! Although I can see both trophies setting on my desk.

It is with some surprise that I read that perhaps someone in the family might be thinking of marriage!?

Marriage?! No way! And the trophy will be mine this year.
