This is addressed to you but is really meant for everyone. I apologize for being so cranky and combative the past couple of days. It's myself I am mad at for messing up on Saturday. I have been doing well and that should not have happened.

I have significant political differences with a number of people here but don't usually let it get under my skin. Heck, I typed STFU to John Baird before thinking better of it. (I tell my daughters not to say anything online they wouldn't say to a person's face, and saying STFU to an ex-Marine probably wouldn't be too bright, LOL).

Are you more impressed by Kentucky now? If you don't feel like talking about basketball, that's OK. IMO that was a terrific opening weekend. Lots of upsets, teams from all over still alive. The Big 12 has done better than the Big East, so maybe I was wrong about the best conference this season.

It's official: I am back to being my lovable self <g>.
