Happy 2nd to Headbanger Bird

A belated 2nd birthday to my best friend, "Headbanger" Bird. She has earned the moniker as when I first got her and she banged her head, I was the concerned parent worried about the poor puppy's melon. The poor puppy is now 100+ pounds with a melon so hard, the many collisions with said head are now a just a brush against the table.

Ladies First

Two things no one wants to hear you talk about, your fantasy league team and how your NCAA tournament hoops bracket is doing. I'm not in any fantasy leagues and I'm not talking about my bracket either but have the life long quandary of how ladies seem to always dominate the process of picking NCAA basketball tournament winners. Case in point with the attached picture from my work pool (yes, my employer does one for company SWAG). The top six in the standings are ladies. I always made the joke that ladies can pick based on other matters like school locations, have they visited the state before, the color of the uniforms and the mascot. Guys overanalyze the crap out of every game, and eventually lose. I asked one of the leading ladies of her secret and she said she picked whomever the computer said was favored. That is no fun but I'm in 65th place so....
