Today is the 44th anniversary of John and Yoko’s famous bed-in.

(Yes, I do remember it, but only vaguely. However, I have MUCH, MUCH older sisters who have told me about it in such detail that I feel like I was there.)

Apparently, John and Yoko spent a week in bed at the Amsterdam Hilton. I know, it seems odd, but it was a peace protest, and not the most unusual by any standard of measure. Pacifists will do the damnedest things to avoid killing people. It is so abnormal.

The bed-in didn’t really catch on. Its time hadn’t come.

Yet.

When you’re young and energetic, spending a week in bed is a waste, even if done in protest. When you’re in your late middle ages, spending a week in bed as a form of contesting the "evil-powers-that-be" takes on a whole new look.

Hot damn, I get to take credit for changing the world while spending time in my favorite place. Life is good, life is good.

Line the causes up! I’m ready to get immobile for a reasonable excuse!

Good and Bad From March Madness

The Jackrabbits are gone. Obviously, one of you didn’t get all gussied up in your SDSU gear and failed to cheer loud enough, and now you’ve done it. I don’t know which one of you it was, but I will find out and you will suffer.

Or maybe I will let it ride, as the Ducks are heading to the Sweet 16. Yee haw, they’re looking good!

March Madness Update and Correction

I made a boo-boo in my post yesterday. This is not the fourth consecutive time the Jackrabbits have been in the NCAA Women's Tournament. This is the fifth consecutive year. And it should be noted that SDSU has only been eligible fot the tourney for five years. Pretty damn good, if you ask me!

And the Ducks, the glorious Ducks. They opened the men's tournament with a resounding win over Oklahoma State. It just feel good to be a Duck right now!

They're B-A-A-A-C-K

Yes, the South Dakota State University Jackrabbits are back in the NCAA Women's basketball tournament. This is the fourth year in a row. Saturday, at 4:10PM Eastern time, they play South Carolina.

 (Kind of cute play on states, don't you think?)

Join me in wearing blue and gold and cheering on the Rabbits! This is their year!

Happy Spring! Happy Spring!

And of course, they are predicting snow tonight for the Upper Valley.

Screw them! It is sunny and warm and you just ignore that white crap on the ground. I’m sure it’s just leftover cocaine.

You know me, I’ve never been a great fan of reality!

Vive le printemps!
