  Hey fanatics of college basketball! It's that time of year again. A "for real" national championship unlike the farce that is college football. The best teams in the land settle it on the court-what a concept!! Twelve of my teams out of the remaining 16 are still in the hunt in the big money pool. I have Syracuse coming out of the East, UConn from the South, Notre Dame in the West, and my boyz from Pitt from the Midwest for an All Big East Final Four. Hey I'm a fan-no apologies. What say you??

  1st ROUND March 20-21

  For the children-US, Brit, Aussie,Iraqi

  by Seven in

  my heart goes out to every child who has a parent fighting in this war, be they american, british, aussie or iraqi- especially the ones too young to realize exactly where dad or mom is at.

  they just know that everyone is so upset and the news is talking about and showing pictures of soldiers who were killed or were captured that are dressed just like dad or mom was the last time they saw them.

  i can picture a little one toddling over to the tv touching the screen and saying, "daddy.

  I hope for their safe return

  I know many say it is none of our business but I am still glad we are making it our business.

  I hope for a peaceful resolution soon

  Across the field you see the sky ripped open
  See the rain through a gaping wound
  Pounding on the women and children
  Who run
  Into the arms
  Of America -U2

  ok folks, honestly, i know many of you have travelled some, and a few have ventured into some pretty exotic far off places.

  Where did you go on your last vacation? Key West, Florida

  Where is the most Exotic place you have visited?

  Cairo, Egypt

  What place would you recommend to a single person?

  Cancun, Munich for Oktoberfest

  What place would you recommend to a married couple?

  Any place that the music is loud enough to drown out their arguing. Jamaica would work.

  What place would you recommend to a family with children?

  See above.

  Have any of you experience strange or unusual events during your travels?

  Too many to mention. All unbelievable so why bother. :)

  Where is the next place you are going to go to (vacation)? Places to hit before I die-Tibet, Russia, and Hong Kong. Will go to Sweden, Ireland and back the Keys first.

  Si,

  I knew Cat had converted to Islam. It matters not to me if an artist worships the great gazoo. I liked the lyrics. His Oh Very Young and Wild World were in my first guitar book. There will aways be music.

I can picture a little one toddling over to the TV touching the screen and saying, "Daddy." Let's not forget about the Iraqi Moms who have no SpongeBob SquarePants to distract her kids. She's too busy trying to figure out where's the best place to hide away from the fire from above. I hope many of them evacuated before the bombing started. I can't imagine dragging a handful of kids across a city with a babe in arms and whatever essential belongings needed.

  I find it quite absurd now for me to argue the pros and cons of this war. The past has been forgotten just like this will be forgotten. The horses are already out of the barn. The worst is yet to come and there's not one thing I can do about it. This war is no worse than any other fought in my lifetime except we've got webcams 24/7. Everyone is on edge and I'm sure everyone wants this to come to an end. I've got three close buddies over there and I'm just too emotional to be objective. No more war threads for me.

  There will always be music.

  For {{{{the kids}}}}:

  Oh, Very Young
  Cat Stevens
  
  Oh Very Young, what will you leave us this time
  You're only dancin' on this earth for a short while
  And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
  They will vanish away like your dads best jeans
  Denim blue, faded up to the sky
  And though you want them to last forever
  You know they never will
  (You know they never will)
  And the patches make the goodbye harder still.
  
  Oh Very Young what will you leave us this time
  There'll never be a better chance to change your mind
  And if you want this world to see a better day
  Will you carry the words of love with you
  Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
  And though you want to last forever
  You know you never will
  (You know you never will)
  And the goodbye makes the journey harder still.
  
  Will you carry the words of love with you
  Will you ride, oh,oooooooooooooh
  
  Oh Very Young, what will you leave us this time
  You're only dancin' on this earth for a short while
  Oh Very Young, what will you leave us this time

  To the little ones who can't find sleep tonight-the most beautiful lullabye ever written: CONNEMARA CRADLE SONG

  On the wings of the wind o'er the dark rolling deep
  Angels are coming to watch o'er thy sleep
  Angels are coming to watch over thee
  So list to the wind coming over the sea

  Chorus:
  Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow
  Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

  Oh, winds of the night, may your fury be crossed,
  May no one who's dear to our island be lost
  Blow the winds gently, calm be the foam
  Shine the light brightly and guide them back home

  Chorus

  The currachs are sailing way out on the blue
  Laden with herring of silvery hue
  Silver the herring and silver the sea
  And soon there'll be silver for baby and me

  Chorus

  The currachs tomorrow will stand on the shore
  And daddy goes sailing, a sailing no more
  The nets will be drying, the nets heaven blessed
  And safe in my arms dear, contented he'll rest

  edited to add those from Oz, sorry about that.

  Hey Zep,

  I haven't had much to say for the past two years. I've been here for going on three just watching life pass me by. The place is a metropolis now. The players come and go. I remember being fearful of posting a link to HR Giger's biomechanoids because it might offend somebody. LOL Not many of the originals left. Waiting can still be found roaming the halls at night.

  cheers,

  Hey E-man,

  From Field to table: After the kill, a moment of silence in appreciation of this most magnificant tasting bird. Then I just cut him in the middle of his chest, a little bit beneath the skin. Remove the head, wings and legs. Cut from the end of the breast bone to it's booty. Just like pulling off a sweater everthing comes off. Gut 'em and rinse him out. Run to the kitchen. Throw some leeks and garlic in the cavity and rub him down with sunflower oil. :) Wrap in foil-roaster-oven-table in about 45 minutes depending on how far from the house I have to walk.
