First, to tie up loose ends, congrat to Brian Hight for winning this year's Frozen Four pool. He correctly tabbed Denver University (or is it the University of Denver - none of the announcers seem to agree, even with themselves, on the name of the place) as the latest repeat champ. You final tally:

Hight - 50 points
Bruce - 42
Boggie - 30
Coen, Harper-Nixon - 26
Sorenson - 20
Barker - 16

Moving on to today's festivities, I got to hear when both the radio and TV guys got their rings at today's Red Sox opener. The TV guys took it pretty well, while Troop and Joe were in various states of awe, glee, and speechlessness. I suppose it's hard to call a game with that much bling on. It was actually pretty funny to listen to, as I think in that moment what those guys were covering on the radio became much more real, if that makes any sense. That and, for the homers they are, getting rings must have put things into overdrive.

It didn't hurt that the Sox won, either.

Watching news coverage tonight we saw a woman that the wife used to work with. It was hard to tell at first as she was wearing a hat and had sunglasses on, but it was cool to see her being interviewed about Opening Day.

Not much else to report on currently. I'm beginning to peel after getting burnt on Friday during a riverboat cruise, but it's pretty minor.
