There is a God, and apparently He reads this blog
Yeah yeah it's been forever. Sorry.
Just as I demanded in a previous post, the Bruins are on their way back to the Final Four for the first time since 1995, when, oh yes, they won their 11th NCAA title, by far the most of any school in history (Kentucky is second with a mere 7). A record of Cal Ripken-esque proportions.
They beat Memphis last night to advance, but really Thursday night's game against Gonzaga (they came back from being 17 points down, and finally went ahead with 9.2 seconds left) is what made me realize that the Lord himself must be watching out for me, and is likely wearing blue and gold while doing so.
So I'm happy. And I feel totally fine. UCLA plays LSU (who beat Texas yesterday, sorry mom) next, and I'm sure the entire world will be rooting for them, because their school got pummeled by Katrina and they're so inspiring and blah blah blah. JUST REMEMBER THIS: there is a young man out there battling cancer who would like nothing more than to see his beloved team make it happen, because really, who knows what may happen tomorrow.....
(and yes, I mean me)
Actually this is what will happen tomorrow: Chemo Round III. Wish us luck, hopefully this one will be as easy as the last and I'll be fully able to scream my head off like an ass during the championship games.
The really perplexing thing is that my brackets aren't doing that well in my office pool. I don't get that at all.
And I didn't win Powerball last night. Again.

Yeah, I definitely think the cancer thing trumps a freakin' hurricane. I mean, come on. We should get to work on booking you on CNN so that you can tell your story to Soledad O'Brien.
