Stoked for March Madness!

Samson, 5, and Gavin, 9, holding their NCAA brackets

My boys Gavin and Sam are ready for March Madness! Here they are proudly holding up their brackets. They are in the $5 pool at my wife's work. Sam picked purely on the names of the teams as I read them to him. He somehow came out with Florida beating Duke in the final though. Probably more likely than my Michigan State over Arizona scenario.

I'm in awe -- and yes, exhausted! -- just reading this. Fortitude was all I could think!
