More thoughts/ideas promised to entertain (or put to sleep).

The NCAA basketball tournament starts this morning. As bad as I am with filling out brackets, I've officially counted myself out of the running to win ANY of them.

When I go to a restaurant for a steak, I want just that, a steak. I don't want, onion rings, salsa, horseradish, arugula or spinach salad...etc, on top of it. If a steak is cooked properly, you don't have to "junk" it up.

I'm willing to pay anyone for 3-4 really nice days in-a-row. This weather is driving me nuts.

I'm betting before too long, I witness a traffic accident caused when someone tries to avoid one of the manhole-sized potholes and swerves into an oncoming lane.

Is it fair to say that Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major titles is safe? At one point Tiger Woods looked to be a lock to break it. But now at 38, and all the physical ailments he has, I don't see him winning 5 more majors, which would break the record.

Am I the only person that has to stop and watch the movie Tombstone, if I run across it on tv?

Oh to see green grass again.

Good luck to my old Quincy friend, Ken Dennison, on the opening of his restaurant, The Salted Pig, in St. Louis on the 24th.

I hope many of you are watching the History channel's series, Vikings. Outstanding.

Please...can we get to MLB's regular season already? I can't take much more of spring-training.

Thank goodness the primary elections are over. We can now be free of tv/radio commercials...for about 3 weeks. Then we get stuck hearing them till November.

Started to listen to some of Eric Church's music. Boy, have I missed the boat for a few years. This guy is GOOOOD!

Does it seem fair that a guy who has very little hair should pay $12 for a 2-minute "cut?" I think paying by the hair is a MUCH better idea.

Memo to self: Stay far away from ANY roadside golf course the first weekend the weather is nice. Why, you ask? This will be the first time playing this year for most golfers, and I can attest that shots will by flying all over the place. Car windshields act like a magnet to that little white ball.

Does anyone watch American Idol anymore? Seriously?

Eating KFC's chicken after having Popeye's chicken is like watching a movie starring Robert DeNiro and then watching one starring Keanu Reeves.

Looking for a dog or cat? Don't forget to check the local pound ot animal protective league.
