brackets and billions.

I just received this email from Fed Ex...

Your package containing $1.2Musd(ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) was recieved here  on monday and As we expected  that we shall email you with the tracking number and information to recieve your parcel this morning before being called by the custom office here in regards to the attempt to send your package pointing that  the parcel could not be sent to you after all because the security agents seized the documents.

Whatever shall I do with all of that money?  Oh, the possibilities!!  I mean, their grammar and typing of the email is so perfect you know it must be real.  My prayers have been answered.  My ship has come in.  I finally get to act like one of those crazy people who open the door to find the Publishers Clearing House standing there holding balloons and a big check.

And this is really good news too since I'm clearly not going to win the big prize money from my March Madness bracket picks (which is totally in the crapper after one day.)

Yes, I fill out a March Madness bracket.  No, I don't know why.  I love college athletics, but I haven't watched a single basketball game all year.  So for me, my bracket is nothing but fun.  A way to participate  in the, well, madness.  I have a game on right now and obviously I'm not even watching. But I hate getting left out.  I think that's why I started filling out brackets in the first place.  I never win.  I never know what I'm doing.  But I don't care.  I participate because it's more fun to play than not to.

And yes, I am fully aware that there is a city in the desert covered in bright lights just waiting on someone like me.

I just saw the Fed Ex truck pass by...wonder if my cool $1.2 million is inside?

Basketball


happy friday!

One year I somehow one the tournament bracket challenge and hadn't watched the games either...so go figure! : ) It is fun to fill out and watch it all unfold; and I love when the underdogs win.
