We were in Florida for a few days last week for our friend Tom’s annual golfing get together. Gail is a swinger: There were majestic birds on the courses, like the great blue heron: There were birds of prey, a red shouldered hawk and an osprey: A little blue heron and a white ibis were helping find my [...] Big fun! One of the cool things about living in NC is the chance to see some great basketball! UNC in Chapel Hill and Duke in Durham are about an hour away, and our home team here in Winston-Salem, Wake Forest, is about 10 minutes from our house! This is our first game, and many [...] I’m sure it goes back further, but my earliest memories of my mom screaming shouts of encouragement at the TV were when I was about 12.

I am still in a suspended state of disbelief that Wake Forest lost in round 1. I can’t accept the humiliating way that turned out. When I get back to Winston-Salem, I might just have to stop at Wake [...] Thrilling and agonizing! This may be as good as it gets for me, #2 out of 20 in The Crotte Family Hoops Pool as of the end of the first round! You’d think I’m on a roll, but my most important pick LOST in the first round!!!
