march madness!

Against my better judgment I filled out a bracket for the NCAA tourney this year. 

And what do you know, I won!  (Here's how:)

Granted I was competing against only 3 other people (for "a plate of ribs" at our favorite pub in Edmonds), but still, it's an accomplishment.  I correctly picked Kansas to win it all over Memphis.  I utilized the ignorance-is-bliss strategy and basically just picked from instinct.  Actually, my bracket is pretty ugly with all the "misses", but hey points is points and they added up.  I didn't watch a game all season and couldn't watch any games during the tournament since it is not televised in China.  But it paid off.  It was completely stress-free.

I am looking forward to collecting my winnings sometime in June.  In the words of my daughter Sarah, "Yay-hoo!"
