The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's not Christmas, or back-to-school...it's the combination of March Madness and spring training baseball that gets a young (or 40-plus-ish) man's juices flowing this time of year. While my afternoon business appointment was regrettably cancelled, this gave me the time to catch the end of both the Syracuse-UConn game (big upset! I've never been a big 'Cuse fan, but like Gerry MacNamara) and Temple-George Washington game (another upset -- this time for a Philly team -- coached by a fellow patron of the Flourtown Farmer's Market, yet!). And tomorrow - Bucknell-Holy Cross at 4:30 on ESPN2...let's root on the Bison, some of the Last Amateurs (snaps to author John Feinstein). And baseball rolls ever nearer...getting ready for the Red Sox to visit our fair city for a pair of exhibition games the first weekend in April, and Opening Day on the 3rd (and first Tony Luke's roast pork sandwich of the year). It's just all too much...
