    Thanks for asking Don. I'm now 10 days post op. I use a walker but I've used a cane with my PT guy and I'm about to graduate to that. I see the surgeon this Wed. for my first visit since the op. That will be the first time that the dressing is changed and I'll see how the incision is. Only took pain meds for the first two days and the time I was doing my picks. I'm hoping to be maxed out in recovery by the end of Apr.

    If we play golf now you won't have to give me so many strokes. Think about it. Feel better.

    I thought Arkansas would maybe beat Duke.

    I think it's between Bob and I. I have "Nova to the final 4 and KU. I have KU beating them to make the championship game, but I had Gonzaga on the other side so I can only get 2 more wins.

    Bob has KU to the final 4 so that is a wash with me having them as well. I have them moving on to the Championship and Bob had Arizona so he can't score points on that. But he has Duke to the Final 4, and Duke to the Championship game and Duke winning it all. I think that will do it if they do win out.

    I picture Bob dying a tee shirt Duke Blue and pasting a D over the M on his hat! :cool:

    Well Bob has 2 picks in the final four.

    Duke and Kansas. Each correct pick is worth 16 points. Bob does not have KU winning their semifinal, so no possible points there.

    I have KU winning their semifinal so I can score 16 points. Bob has Duke all the way so if that happens he will score 32 points and win.

    Well I am maxed out and will likely fall in the lower half.

    On the good news front we are in Florida visiting out daughters and attended both Gator games today. Baseball against LSU and women softball against Tennessee. Both were 3 rd games of a three game series and the Gators had lost both games in softball and had split in baseball.

    Baseball first at noon and the softball started at 2. Well baseball quickly fell behind 11-0 so we went over to the softball stadium which was right across the street. Much better game, the Gators salvaged the last game coming from behind 1-0 to win 4-1. Great to be there with my daughters who are both big sport fans.
