march is for the mad + luck of the irish

[jones_casey]

it's been several years since i had the entire day free to watch opening thursday of the ncaa tournament, and it's on st. patrick's day, no less. i'm going to savour it. got my brackets ready to go, and an early congrats go to the spartans for their stunning trip to the final four & to duke for winning the whole thing while facing traditional rivals like michigan, unc, and kansas.

and luck of the irish for notre dame and st. john's will see them go a little ways if not too much farther.
