Tuesday

I missed the end of the first half and most of the second half of the title game.  Just couldn't get invested in either team.  I've never been a big fan of Pitino...and Michigan is...well, Michigan.  How can a Hawkeye root for Michigan?  Haven't seen any gloating yet from Nevada.  Did someone else slip in to the top spot?

The differences in the generations is very evident in the tax preparation business.  I don't do that many returns for Millennials, but the way to handle their communication is electronic.  They prefer their returns on email: they'll do signatures back and forth the same way.

By contrast, the Boomers are mostly snail mail, or fax if it has to be same day.  Local Boomers just stop at the office and do their biz face-to-face.

I also didn't watch the country awards show on Sunday night.  There's really been a transfer of power in country music, and I'm just not that into the new, edgier and more rockish emphasis in the genre.  Not that it is bad, just that I don't find the singers and their styles that appealing.  Backward baseball hats and stocking caps are not all that country to me.

I did just happen to catch the segment where George Strait and Garth Brooks were on stage in a tribute to Dick Clark.  (Garth looks like he's made it to a couple buffet lines!)  I didn't realize that Dick Clark had also made his mark on country music.

Danica had a nice run last weekend at a short track in Martinsville, finishing 12th.  She has a lot to learn, but doing well at Martinsville is a sign that she may have some skills.  Its a tough track on newbies.  But if she can't get something figured out at the 1-1.5 mile tracks, her place in the standings will not make any headlines.

(4's comment on the NCAA bringing the DII and DIII championship games to the same weekend as the DI game is noted.  The idea to have a "championship weekend" certainly has some marquee appeal, but I agree with the coach at Augie who gives it a thumbs-down (at least in private conversation).  They started the DIII tournament over a month ago and then strung it out to this past weekend.  Way too long between games.  They played the semifinals on March 23rd, and had to wait over two weeks to play the championship game.  With my Sometimer's, I would have thought that the season was over when they didn't play the finals the same weekend as the semi's.)

Again, lots going on today.  Mid 60's in the forecast.  That grass will be green by the weekend.
