I expect some tricks today.

In fact, did it even come in like a lion out here? I understand it's been a pretty mild winter/spring.

I'm here at my mom's cabin in Osage (near Park Rapids). I never feel calmer than when I'm here.

The Milkmaid and my girls are here now. Awesome.

According to 1500 ESPN, "Andre Hollis scored 11 of his team's final 13 points. Stanford awaits the "U" in the finals on Thursday."

Who? Anyway, the Gophers survive a late-game slouch and win in overtime against WA 68-67. The Wolves did not win...

So, without getting needlessly specific about the mean spirits out there and things I've read recently, let me say once more: thank you all. Thanks for being the group of guys that you are. This is the greatest online home I could imagine having.

I didn't know about yesterday's Wolves game until it was over. I hate that.

Last night, nibbish became the latest in a long line of WGOMers to win a season of Spookymilk Survivor (it's now five straight for the site). Old Chicago in Apple Valley wishes you were there to wish him well. You know, unless you were, which is possible because a lot of people were there.

It was a small cadre of Citizens at the caucus - AMR, Sean, Algonad, New Guy, freealonzo, Can of Corn, The Dread Pirate and myself - but a blast was had by all (I assume; a couple of them were pretty quiet). I'm excited to meet more of you tonight.

I just had the worst night of my life last night, as my brother tried desperately to have a serious physical fight with me (if I explained his reasoning, it would just be embarrassing for him, so I'll skip it).

I'm glad the caucus is tonight. Nobody's planning on fisticuffs, are they?
