Ok, I tried to post this BEFORE Villanova went on to win 2 games this past weekend and march into the Sweet 16 of the 2008 NCAA tournament. They gave me a great Easter present. I couldn't be happier.
Despite the government being a complete mess, I take solace in the good things in life - friends, family, life...and my Wildcats! It just a total surprise they made it this far and I guess that is what makes it so enjoyable.
We are so very lucky we live in the greatest nation on earth and we have men and women sacrificing EVERY DAY for us all over the globe. They keep us free and safe.
So, while my other posts seemed doom and gloom, there is also much to look forward to in the future. We can 'right' the ship. We just have to get involved and tell those who are our leaders - we demand better.
In mean time, enjoy the good things, the little things around you. Friends you know you can count on, even if they are half way around the world. Family, even when they make a mess of your house after a long weekend...and yes, the nice spring surprise of my villanova wildcats. Sometimes those unexepected surprises are the best ones since you weren't prepared for them ahead of time.
Now, maybe, just MAYBE we might get another one next Friday night? It is a very very long shot since the small, tired, and beat up Wildcats face the Kansas Jayhawks....but ya gotta believe?

I like the upbeat side of "the right perspective." So pleasant! :)
Ahh, yes... I have been fairly negative about the Wildcats this year (they have been sooo unpredicatable), but I DID have them going to the sweet 16 in my brackets (forget beating Kansas)!
Also, thanks for hinting at Pat being a good friend, even while half way around the world as well as talking about him and other soldiers fighting for us! He counts you as a really close friend; he and I wouldn't want it any other way!
