This is a bracket I can really sink my teeth into (see what I did there?) I would have to go with Burger King, Five Guys, Chick-fil-A and Arby’s. What’s your Final Four?
In that other bracket, South Carolina and North Carolina both advance to the Final Four. What are the chances they could face each other in the Championship? It would be like Venus vs. Serena Williams except with big, sweaty guys. Continue reading
Well this snuck up on me. In past years I’ve created whole retrospectives, shared stats, thanked some blog friends, etc. Thank you WordPress for the reminder!

We mentioned back to school on Monday but that was about it. Apparently we did a whole back to school themed Happy Monday post last year that I totally forgot about. We listed several “special editions” in the #200 post last week and the timing would have been perfect to include this one.

The first day of school doesn’t affect everyone equally. Continue reading
