The most wonderful time of the year
March is my favorite month: the simple, quiet joys of Lent, the hope of spring and thawing snow, St. Patrick’s Day, the Solemnities of St. Joseph and the Annunciation, and—of course—March Madness. Even though I’m dead last in my family bracket pool at the moment, I’m enjoying the games and the upsets. I didn’t pick Georgia State… Read More The most wonderful time of the year

My thoughts on last night’s game, like most other Irish fans, are basically: uggggggghhhhhhhh. But maybe I can articulate that a little better.
