The Pomp, the Circumstance!

Watched quite a bit of college basketball over the weekend as teams played conference tournaments hither and yon. And quite a bit of impressive basketball was played amidst the seven-step layups and put-a-soccer-flop-to-shame attempts to draw charges.

When the tournaments were over, it was nice to watch the players celebrate, wearing conference championship T-shirts and hats, sometimes draped in the net they ceremonially cut down to mark their victories. I imagined how inspiring they'll look in May as they walk across the commencement stage, wearing their graduation robes and mortarboard hats.

Thanks, folks, you've been great. I'll be here all week, so don't forget to tip your waitress and hey, try the veal while you're here.
