Favorite Things
Though it is not an issue this year, I just wanted to comment on the fact that historically the first Monday in April is one of my all-time favorite days of the year. Though not a national holiday (anywhere, so far as I know) it certainly should be. Not only do we have opening day for baseball, but the NCAA championship as well. Woo-Hoo!
I can remember days past where I would veg out through the afternoon watching baseball games that I had no vested interest in, only to make my way to the Vine (the old one) later that evening to watch the NCAA final, which I also would be likely to have no vested interest in. Watching sports for the sake of watching sports. . . good times. . . good times.
Granted, all of this is moot this year. The NCAA finals don’t even start until 2:45am Tuesday morning over here. I just don’t think the Woolshed will be open that late (early?). Also, I have to work in the morning. Oh well, I can put little details like that out of my mind for this year. Regardless, today will still hold a special place in my heart, even if I have to wait at least a year before hearing "One Shining Moment."
As I type: Watching “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”
Comments
I would just like to note that there is a website for One Shining Moment, complete with lyrics if you want them.

OK, am I the only one that thinks "One Shining Moment" is totally cheesy and lame? Maybe I'm just bitter because I finished just out of the money in both the pool and tiebreaker contest (Top 8 paid, I got 9th, and was one-point away in the total points guess when 4 people guessed right-on). I also disagree with this quote from the website: "One Shining Moment is arguably the most famous song in sports."

Bitter... party of one.

No it's totally lame, but so lame, it's funny.
