Two rounds done, and we've got our all-WCHA Frozen Four. Pool standings, with number of teams left and national champion pick in parentheses:

Coen - 26 points (3/Colorado College)
Hight - 26 (3/Denver)
Boggie - 22 (3/Minnesota)
Sorenson - 20 (2/CC)
Bruce - 18 (2/Denver)
Harper-Nixon - 18 (2/BU)
Barker - 16 (1/Michigan)

A couple of people have noted how this pool is the ying to their March Madness bracket yang. Not sure it's reached that level for me yet, though Kentucky's impending loss isn't going to help me in Barker's pool (it was the one thing that differentiated me from the other folks who have Illinois going all the way). In the Bruce's weighted competition it appears that my fortunes are tied with Louisville's.

For something completely different, Easter was pretty uneventful. The in-laws were down for the weekend, and we had an early dinner at restaurant that's part of a local yacht club (we'd briefly looked at the place for our wedding reception, but they wanted way too much for a room rooted in the 1970s). Church was a zoo, of course, as the C&E folks packed it to standing room only. The priest made a pretty funny reference to the need to show up more often, using the phrase "same Bat-time, same Bat-channel." We'll see how it goes.
