Nice weather.

The Muppets with an Easter video – the bunnies sing anyway.

Washington D.C.’s cherry blossom festival!  (Associated Press’ raw video)

Interesting profile of Butler U’s president, Bobby Fong – an American-born Chinese American, who grew up loving baseball – and now has a Final Two men’s basketball team in the NCAA championship (hat tip from Asian Angry Man).

Ok, seriously – who had Butler going all the way like this on their brackets?

I did have Duke, but I didn’t have them as the final champion.  No, I had Syracuse, so I’m clearly no prognosticator.

So, half my NCAA Men’s basketball brackets are gone.

But, so cool that Cornell’s still in it!  Ivy League is represented!  So, of course, all kinds of coverage is done about this: how those Cornell kids live in Ithaca, how their Shining Moment is hopefully lifting spirits at the university, which has had an awful lot of tragedy (dealing with suicides this past academic year) and – of course, how academically bright they are (something other than Duke and Stanford, for goodness sake!).  Plus, sounds like they’re getting real excited at Ithaca.  Big Red had a great weekend.

So, I’ll root for them.  Do well, Big Red.  Not like my Alma Mater’s going to be in the tourney anytime soon.
