Research kills cancer.
Article I’ll skip: “As Saint Peter’s readies for Sweet 16, sport psychologist reveals why fans are rooting for the Peacocks” – Let me summarize the article that I didn’t read. People are rooting for the Peacocks because a) they are a 15 seed and b) they knocked off Kentucky.
The Providence Friars men’s basketball team traveled to Chicago for their Sweet 16 matchup with Kansas in the New England Patriot’s team jet. Cool for them.
I was on a hike and saw a sign that read “such-n-such – 6/10’s miles.” Being the wise-ass that I am, I said to my wife; “why don’t they just say 3/5’s miles?” Being the math teacher that she is, Kathy responded; “Because most people wouldn’t understand 3/5’s.” After a brief discussion we both realized that, unfortunately, she was probably correct.
The NFL’s AFC continues to get better. Yes, Tyreek Hill is still in the conference but now bolstering the Miami Dolphins offense. Along with Jaylen Waddle, Tua Tagovailoa (sp? – who cares) now has two legitimate weapons. I’m not sure if the Patriots signing of Malcolm Butler cures this dilemma…

Happy National Lobster Newburg Day!
Be careful out there. (It’s a jungle!)
“Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long”
