I'm Baaaaaaaack!!!

AC-DC was Back in Black (I'm wearing brown pants and a yellow/brown/pink plaid top today.

Somebody somewhere right now is saying, "I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine."

Sir Mix-A-Lot alluded to the fact that he was enamored with trunk junk when he said "Baby Got Back." (This is a funny song because it comes on at weddings and everyone that is 33 or younger goes crazy running to the dance floor - except for Dad, he's not into it -and everyone 34 or older is like, "What in God's name is this? I'm going outside for a smoke... and I don't even smoke.")

Joe Crede missed much of last season for the White Sox because he had a bad back.

The Beattles sang "Get Back."

Old people always say, "Back in my day..."

And now it's my turn to add another chapter to the "back" book in the world of history, so I've decided I'm gonna say it like Michael Jordan said it in a fax to the whole world when he was coming out of retirement in 1995 (I don't have a fax machine or I would've announced my return the same way).

After a long hiatus that involved moving into a new home, lots of visitors and Dad almost taking a flamethrower to Comcast's headquarters, I will be posting some much-anticipated stories and photos that include Easter week, a really fun bathtime, and (this is just a hint) something to do with ponies.

So with all that said, "I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!"

Stay tuned...

Some People Call Me A Space Cowboy...

And some people just call me effective. It is no coincidence that my first NCAA Tournament of my life has resulted in a first round win for Marquette, their first tourney win since 2003. Yes, it came at the hands of my Uncle Brian's Kentucky Wildcats, but there are always casualties on the way to a National Championship, not my fault.

As you can see, I was wrapped up in my new Marquette blanket (courtesy of my favorite South Side Irish gal, Miss Gaelen Bell) and we brought home the victory. Marquette Coach Tom Crean and I talked on Wednesday about game strategy and I told him free throws could be a deciding factor, and it looks like he put the boys to work from the charity stripe this week.

Now it's time to bring down the Cardinal on Saturday night (sorry, Katherine and Casey, but we gotta do it). Go Marquette, Go, Go, Go, Go!

P.S. Yes, I'm a girl and that's a black Jordan beanie on my head... my dad is kind of strange sometimes.
