GROSSE POINTE -
Hey all!
Well, it is now March and I am still living at home in a basement that floods every time it rains. I guess if you asked me last October if I expected to still be here in March I probably would have said "I hope not" but in all actuality it is working out pretty to my advantage. My mom still cooks for me and we get in mean games of Euchre basically everyday. Also, Metro Detroit is the best place to be come this time of year for two reasons in particular: Weather and Sports.
After a long winter of cold and raininess, when the sun starts to peak out from behind the clouds it's as if God is waking up from hibernation and saying "Alright, let's play some ball". I have been able to go out and toss the baseball and football around a couple times, while at the same time watching absurd amounts of hometown sports. Currently, the GPN Girls Varsity team is on it's way to the State Quarterfinals after winning the Regionals last night. The boys Varsity play GP South for the District title tonight. Meanwhile, Michigan looks like a tournament-bound team while my brother and MSU are a potential number 1 seed in the NCAA Tourney.
-Could it be any better?! -
Of course...
The Red Wings are number 1 in the Western Conference and the Pistons have been on a roll since A.I. hurt his back. Not to mention the TIGERS have been playing down in Lakeland, and there is constant talk about the Lion's first round draft pick this year... which inevitably they will probably butcher -but that's ok! We can talk about them!
-Wow, Steve, that's great! What more could you ask for??-
Well I don't need to ask! Michigan Men's hockey is ranked #3 in the country and St. Patrick's day is next week, followed by the greatest weekend in sports - the opening round of the NCAA tournament (which I need not remind you, ends with the Final Four in Detroit).
Needless to say, life here is pretty exciting. My brother and sis have been in and out because they are on spring break and I hope to go visit them soon. Betsy is pretty busy with school and work while Billy boy is busy with the MSU squad as they are making their run. Hopefully I will be able to jet up to the Riverhouse soon in order to buckle down and get some work done. Like my shirt says - Life is good.
Get at me and let me know how you're doing!
Cheers!
Stevo
