Haven't done a Weekender for a while, have I? Sorry about that - a comedy of errors over here at home base plus the young one have made it difficult.
But c'mon, you know we're not going anywhere. We kept posting the normal weekly content, didn't we?
Also, a PSA: I'm currently in 5th place in a 230+ sized March Madness pool (variously tied for first yesterday!). I'm just marking the occasion - it's all downhill from here, ha.
