1. Early in this college basketball season when Michigan creamed Gonzaga, I said to someone (or maybe just to myself!), "I ought to drive over to Spokane Tribe Casino and use some of my stupid money that I keep in my stupid money envelope and bet right now on Michigan to win the whole tournament."
Of course, I didn't do it.
And there's no guarantee that Michigan will defeat UConn to win the title Monday night.
But, it's fun to imagine what might have happened had I turned my musing into action.
By the way, once the brackets were set, I did make one bet on the men's tournament. Ha! I wagered that Arizona would win it all.
Oh, well.
(Again. Ha! My one other wager was on the UConn women's team.)
2. As I read further into A Natural History of Empty Lots, author Christopher Brown continues to explore the enduring questions, questions in play since the Puritans settled in New England: is undeveloped wilderness land really wasted land? Or does undeveloped land have an intrinsic spiritual value?
I've struggled within myself with this question for nearly sixty years.
3. We moved into the house we live in back in October, 2017.
We are not done moving in yet -- which makes me wonder if anyone ever really finishes this job!
Debbie and I are rethinking the front bedroom (Vizio Room) and we are considering a couple of improvements to our patio. Debbie put up new curtains today in the living room. The basement is always unsettled. Is it time to switch beds between the main floor bedroom and the upstairs one?
We'll never settle things permanently in this house, just like we never did in the other two places we lived!
