life's lessons learned from past posts

namely, don't brag about your brackets. at least in public.

my best prognostication on the men's side is all the way back in the 99.1 percentile, number 28957 overall (blame Texas' manhandling by this decade's UNLV, Memphis (physical, poor foul-shooting team from an urban school in a weak conference with a flamboyant coach).

the women's side is worse, at least percentile-wise (98.1). while that ranks #3296, North Carolina's loss to LSU was a killer (I figured everyone would pick either UConn or TN so I went contrarian and had UNC winning here, though the current best bracket did pick LSU (and LSU to win overall) and has its Final Four intact).

Monday's conversation with Kelley Deal (she was out shopping for books to take on the road as the Breeders' tour begins this Monday in Dublin (Ireland, not Ohio), but she didn't seem distracted). and despite being severely under the weather (my heart is not the only part of my body feeling all achy-breaky), I ventured out of Queens yesterday afternoon for the first time since the Truckers show (felt strange just being on the subway platform) to record a "Possibly 4th Street" with West Coasters Howlin' Rain at the Chelsea Hotel (which provided great visuals - sample pic above).
