I stayed up way too late last night playing Skyrim. It’s a ten year old game. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on video games since then. And I always go back to Skyrim. It’s that good.

Nature doesn’t make long speeches.
Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching. Translated by Ursula K. Le Guin
A whirlwind doesn’t last all morning.
A cloudburst doesn’t last all day.
Who makes the wind and rain?
Heaven and earth do.
If heaven and earth don’t go on and on,
certainly people don’t need to.

I started playing Minesweeper again, remembering too late its addictive qualities. At least I can play for free. Don’t blame me if you get hooked too.

Congratulations to Kansas on their fourth NCAA Men’s D1 Basketball Tournament title. Biggest comeback in title game history. UNC gets to be on the bitter end of that record.
Quick recap of other tournament heartbreaks:
Anyway, it was a fun tournament overall. Time to ignore the Masters and give baseball some passing attention.

Random college basketball musings:
Congratulations to the University of South Carolina on winning the women’s tournament.
UNC is an 8 seed. The last time an 8 seed won the men’s tournament was 1985, when Villanova beat Georgetown. The last time an 8 seed went to the championship game was 2014, when UK lost to 7 seed UConn.
If UNC wins tonight it’ll be their seventh national championship. If KU wins it’ll be their fourth.
Hubert Davis is the first coach to take a team to the men’s championship in their first year as a head coach. (Other coaches have gone to the championship game in their first year as a head coach at a school. This is the first year Davis has been a head coach, period.)
With Coach K’s retirement the only active men’s D1 coaches that have multiple championships are Jay Wright and Rick Pitino, each with two. If KU wins tonight, Bill Self will join them.
Mike DeCourcy of The Sporting News has UK #1 in his self-proclaimed way too early 2022-2023 preseason rankings, assuming 2022 Naismith player of the year Oscar Tshiebwe returns. More on that below.
Who wins tonight? My head says Kansas. My heart says North Carolina.

After watching Duke beat Texas Tech last night I’m going on record with a prediction that they’ll win the tournament. I don’t think that team’s going to let Coach K end his career with a loss.

My work here is done.
It is fun to bet against Duke.
– Hunter S. Thompson

I had one last fire in the fireplace today. Not that it was that cold, but I had a few pieces of wood left and wanted to use them up.

A few days ago Oscar Combs put a couple of polls on Twitter. It’s a reasonably safe assumption that most of the respondents were UK fans. Key takeaways:
It’s how I would have voted.
