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!"

congratulations! Enjoy the ribs...
