Cool Blogs about March Madness and Katrina Relief

Weekend Report
I reveled in doing absolutely nothing this weekend (except a trip to the family farm for some horseback riding). So my blog is living vicariously through the blogs of others.

Vicarious Blog#1
Wendy at A Month in My Life is spending two weeks in southwest Mississippi to help with Hurricane Katrina relief. You must read the reports, including an Amish community’s experience. Check out the details of this extremely worthwhile endeavor.

Vicarious Blog#2
The Benchwarmer(s) have set up a Ninetyandnine March Madness pool. I am holding down 19th place. That’s four away from last place, so I’m pretty proud. Of course, if the LSU Tigers upset the world and win the championship with by a dramatic 20 point lead, you’ll witness my come-from-behind surprise win that will be the talk of bball pools for the rest of history.

Hello, World
Speaking of unlikely universe happenings, keep in mind that today is Extraterrestrial Abductions Day, so watch out for UFO watchers.

A Technical Note
I have experienced some technical problems all day trying to post this entry (and even accessing the blog). Rather than spend the morning writing hate mail to blogger, I’ve tried to exercise Christian virtues of patience and all those other fruits of the Spirit I don’t naturally excel in. If you’re having problems seeing the blog, please keep trying. And to help your patience and fight the boredom should there be any future post delays because of said technical difficulties, how about playing a little fun-filled game of Fruitbasket Turnover with the 10 people nearest to your computer? It’ll be fun!
