---That steady snow kept going until 15+ inches had accumulated. It was a bit of a chore to move off sidewalks and the driveway, but it sounds like it should melt away in a few days.

---Sent my brother in Atlanta my Final Four picks for our competition to see who is luckiest, or who wastes the most time following kids in long short pants. Mine are Kansas, Oklahoma State, Illinois and UConn. Finals between Okla. State and UConn have OSU winning the championship. Dave has it Kentucky, Florida, Duke, and NC State. You can see who the midwesterner and who the southerner are. His finals pit Kentucky against Duke with Duke triumphant. We will see about that. Our father's picks are in the mail. He continues to eschew email and even faxes. At nearing 80 years old I think he figures he can hold out forever. Having been ad sales manager of nascent personal computing magazines back when only of few visionaries could see over the horizon--visionaries he did business with--you might think he would be one of the oldsters getting with the program.
