It is official; there will be two area teams playing in the boys state championship tournament. In fact Ada and Kalida are both schools that Columbus Grove yearly. If they both win their semifinal game, which I hope happens, they will do battle in the final on Saturday. One would likely guess that I would be torn and undecided on who to cheer for, since they are both schools in Columbus Grove's two associations (NWC and PCL,) but that is not at all the scenario. I will be pulling for Kalida!!!

I am going to go hang out in Findlay tonight with Brian and other friends. They have league bowling tonight, and afterwords we are going to watch the Buckeyes in the NCAA tourney. That will likely be at some sports bar.

I just got done splitting our final group of logs for this winter season. It was too much work for me to do, because I had o sit down to rest on several occasions. I guess a little bit of strenuous exercise is not going to kill me. I just am not cut out to function as well as before my accident, but it is my life now and I love it. The only way we could possibly add to the wood collection, which includes many stacks of wood between trees of our woods, would be if mother nature takes down some trees by wind or lightening. Last summer we collected wood from my uncles house and my cousins house, too. There was a big storm last year that gave us ample opportunity to get wood.

St. Paddy's Day everyone. The Knights of Columbus meeting was extraordinarily exciting for me tonight. A partial reason for that was because I won some extra pocket change in cards, but fun and excitement also existed since in the midst of our solo game we found out that Kalida boys won their basketball game. When I got home I found out that Ada won too. I know that Kalida is heavily favored to win Friday in their regional final, but I am not aware of who Ada faces in their regional championship (also on Friday.) I feel that it would be great if these two North West Ohio schools would play each other at the state tournament in Columbus next weekend.

Split some logs today and stacked wood. Man, splitting wood is difficult work!

I went out in Findlay today/tonight. I went to Brian's place, where we watched basketball as well as shoot some pool. The main game watched was Ohio State's upsetting of Michigan State in the Big Ten tournament. The Spartans were the number one seed in the bracket. Tomorrow (Sunday) the Buckeyes play Purdue for the Big Ten tournament, and the wi9nner receives an automatic 5 seed in the big dance (NCAA tournament) beginning with 64 teams next Thursday. It is often referred to as March Madness! It gets pretty crazy the first four days. Two rounds will be completed and there will be only 16 teams left (often referred to as the Sweet 16.) Prior too next Thursday many brackets will be passed around, and I am sure that I will fill out my fair share of them.
The most amazing thing that was done tonight was running into a waitress that I met at a different sports bar in Findlay, but she now works at the Landing Pad. That is the name of another sports bar/restaurant in Findlay. She is a really awesome girl, and the food at the place is fabulous. New management really turned that place around!
