Notes

• Not fun when awakening from a nap on the couch, with a right hand full of the tingling numbness that comes with 'falling asleep' and you suddenly feel the immediate urge to take care of a chore requiring finesse .... like unfastening the sewn on button on your Dockers, without breaking the damn thing off .... and your urge increasing by the second to near desperation status. Part of the rigors of growing older.
• Asked yesterday for my pick for 'March Madness' but for the first time since I was old enough to take interest, I've paid little attention. Down to the final six teams as of the moment and I've watched a total of less than five minutes.
• Big uptick lately in dreams about the ex-wife. Where the hell is all that coming from?
• Driving into Corvallis earlier today and suddenly had the feeling of being home.
• March Madness .... A guy catches a pass, steps backward and out of bounds, gets called for it, commentator remarks: "You gotta know where you are on the floor" .... my thought: How would he know about that rule? They probably don't observe it in all these AAU leagues that I think are responsible for the decline in common sense basketball knowledge and basic skills and resulting in a lot of unwatchable hoops.
• I'm tired of it all. Practically every issue .... One side thinks it's a great idea or occurrence, to the other it's a plot or conspiracy of some sort. There's nothing where people cross lines or break away from the official party policy. There's no common ground, just disagreement and inane arguments for and against. People unwilling to even consider someone else's views.
