Spring arrived on Thursday. The snowstorm arrives on Friday (today). What the hell?
Madison (home of Grasshopper No. 2) is in the middle of the path of snow. The forecast is for 8-10 inches. The irony is that kids are off school anyway because of Good Friday so kids do not get to experience another "snow day".
Also Easter coming on the 23rd is one of the earliest possible dates. It won't occur again this early for over 200 years (probably not in my lifetime). The earliest possible date is Mar. 22 which happens once every 250 years. So snow this Easter is somewhat a result of it's early date.
Grassshopper No. 4 and I have picked teams in the NCAA basketball tournament for all the brackets and the winner gets a big time prize. I picked 15 games right yesterday (out of 16) and Grasshopper No. 4 picked 14 games right. By my calculation I am winning. Just a side note. The one game I picked wrong was Marquette, my alma mater. I predicted Marquette would lose to Kentucky and they didn't. Go figure!
So rejoice. Spring is here. Easter is Sunday. Good weather is on the way. Be happy.
Have a nice Easter!
Love,
Dad
