Economy

While I am not excited about the economic growth outlook, I do feel we have bottomed out.  I am also seeing signs that the housing market is beginning a turn around. 

Spring

Quite a winter!  But being from the U.P. I am used to longer winters.

UW men's basketball team had quite a run this year.  Most people I know who follow them would say they would not have expected them to have the season they have had.  Basketball is such a momentum game.  And they just could not get the momentum yesterday.

Coach of the Year

I know my posts to this blog often are sports oriented.  But that's Madison.  It is a very sports oriented town. 

Bo Ryan being named Coach of the Year in the Big 10 is well deserved.  I know of noone who thought they'd have the season they have had.  Granted, it is the guys who are out on the floor who execute  plays and fight as hard as they do.  But Bo's ability to get the maximum effort from his guys game after game is a true testament to his coaching and to his assistant coaches'. 

Daylight Savings

I was listening to WIBA this morning and the discussion very early was about the pros and cons of daylight savings time.  I like having more daylight later in the day.  So I guess that makes me in favor of it.  I find people tend to be in much better moods when the sun shines, too.  And for those who love to bike, it leaves more time to hit the roads and trails after work. 

Tired Yet

Are you tired of the snow yet?  Having grown up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I find this winter reminescent of those I got used to.  The difference is that while we are approaching 60 inches of snow here, which I believe is above average, Marquette, Michigan has had over 130 inches, a normal year.

Get out and enjoy it.  Temperatures are great for it.
