This logic should be familiar.

Final Four fictitious quote:

“I’d like to thank Jesus Christ, Vishnu, Mohammed, and the Dali Lama for my performance tonight. I thank Jesus cause hey….it’s Jesus..know what I’m saying. I thank Vishnu for my under the backboard layups cause I think he helps me switch arms in mid air…hes has a lot of arms that Vishnu. Then my peeps are always saying that I can bomb threes from mid court like Mohammed can bomb. Plus, I been kicked off this team like the Dali Lama got thrown out of Tibet, cept I got to come back…maybe if the Lama could play ball the Chinks would let him back on too.”

And starting at power forward, a 5’6 senior from Lhasa, Tibet, his holiness the Dali Lama.

Random ESPN pundit “it all comes down to who can make shots…if the Lama can dribble penetrate the Carolina D and kick out to his monks for some good looks around the arc, then I look for them to advance.”

And another random ESPN pundit, “I spoke to the Lama about this game at the shoot around on Tuesday and he answered some of his critics that say he incited a riot on his own team…he said that’s all behind them now and they are focused on winning by non-violent means.”

By the way….

Our new goat ropers we recruited to play football in Lubbock are even bigger than the goat ropers we recruited last year. I got a chance to go to Tech practice the other day and I can report that the DEFENSE…yes, I said defense…looks good.





After Monday, all we got left is the Masters. I love the Masters. Tweet tweet…tweet tweet…thwack…clap clap clap….que the soft piano music and the gentle voice of Jim Nantz…

I also love the golfer introductions at the first tee…(thick southern drawl) “and on the tee from Key Biscayne, Florida the (insert Championships won and year..this may take a while)…TiGUH WOODS…clap clap clap.



After Sunday night…all that is cool in sports is over until August…cept the Red-Black game.

BEES

I put most of garden in the ground yesterday. I used an aerator I rented from Home Depot. Cost about $50 for 24 hour rental. The rest of the plot and rows I prepared by hand. The onions and garlic I put in the ground about 10 days ago. Yesterday, I decided to gamble that we would not get another freeze here in the Hub, so in the ground went 3 varieties of peppers, 4 varieties of tomatoes, sweet corn, green and yellow squash, spinach, okra, cucumbers, and 2 varieties of beans.

I have herbs left to plant. Everything but the tomatoes and peppers I did from seed.

All I have left to do is flowers. I am going to plant a great deal of flowers that are organic....yes, organic. You see, I have been fascinated by the reports of the decline in honey bees. Fascinated and concerned. From what I have read, the bees do better with a variety of pollen producing flowers. There is also some concern that the genetically engineered plants aren't very healthy for bees. There is some concern that they aren't very healthy for people either.

Gasoline...higher food prices...bee decline...even higher food prices equals time to turn lemons into lemonade.

If you aren't aware, honey bees pollinate a great deal of the fruits and vegetables that we all eat.

Here is what I'm thinking. I am going to build a bee habitat.

“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”
