A few days ago, Pierre was making his selection for the NCAA tournament. I'm not quite sure why he suddenly suggested that I also make a selection. So I did. I picked based on exact and precise selection criteria - things like, "Wow, my kids graduated from U of Arizona." And as one of my ''upset' picks would defeat 'the favorite', Pierre would be very complimentary as if I knew what I had been doing. I didn't and I don't! But it's OK if he thinks I did and I do.

And now it is Sunday and I have 10 of the final 16 and all of my final four are still in and it's almost fun.
