underdogs.....

ok, so.....i especially enjoy the ncaa tourney for the underdogs.....the opportunity to root for the lower ranked seed...or at least for the cinderella team, the team with the tear-wiping story.....and any big ten team unless there is an underdog or an emotional fave......i was thrilled to watch duke lose after i got home from the l-ville airport....and even happier to see xavier beat purdue.....yeah...purdue is big-ten......but xavier is from cincinnati, and i attended sunday night guitar mass with my spouse at xavier once-upon-a-time.....before i concluded that i was no catholic..... i am just about over the omission of osu from this tournament...almost.....better to watch b-ball than to haul dirt from the treelot.....i did do 2 loads this afternoon......just enough to say that i had worked and before my back and limbs lighted up in pain......maybe tomorrow i can conscript workers to help me finish the job....my first such slave laborer will be the youngest child...the one who went to see the early movie with her mimi, and ate lunch for a second time, and then went to see a second movie before arriving home well after the set time.....full of excuses.....i say...anybody who can sit for 2 movies in one day and eat lunch twice can follow that up with 200 minutes of dirt-hauling......but then....i AM the meanest mamma.....
