- What a Baylor women beat down last night. Louisville couldn't miss, Baylor seemed disinterested, Baylor takes the lead with eight seconds left only to let it slip away, Kim Mulkey went ballistic over the officiating, Britney Griner was the victim of a two hour mugging, and now its done. (And Baylor is guilty of Over-Bannering its basketball arena, and the hanging of a "Sweet Sixteen 2013" will only serve to remind them of a National Championship that got away.)
- When did Easter become a gift bonanza like Christmas? Seriously, one of the Freshman-In-The-House's friend got an iPad mini.
- The Update leads off with a motorcycle death in Bridgeport. That man and I were in the same graduating class in high school.
- Since 1960, there had been 11 prosecutors murdered. Kaufman County has added 12 and 13 this year.
- And we are assuming that there is a connection between the DA's killing and the assistant's a couple of months ago, but, I guess, there's a chance it is just a coincidence. (The cops aren't willing to make the connection yet. The mayor of Forney, on the other hand, didn't have any problem with doing so.)
- The killings are so unnerving. I even glanced around the neighborhood as I walked out of my front door this morning. That is soooo not like me.
- There is no way I'm watching the injury to the player for Louisville men's team who suffered a compound fracture of his leg on national TV yesterday. It sounds more than gruesome. (Well, I did look it up. I just refuse to hit play.) And here's a comprehensive article of how the media handled video that most people didn't want to see.
- Everyone, well it seemed that way, got angry at Google yesterday for having Cesar Chavez on its homepage instead of a reference to Easter. Someone eventually commented on Twitter that "just because someone doesn't reaffirm your beliefs doesn't mean they are trying to offend you."
- I was at an Easter Brunch yesterday when a lady, believing I worked there, came up an started asking me questions. I actually tried to fake it until she asked if I could get her kid a candy egg that other kids were carrying around.
- Christian Arts Museum in Fort Worth (wherever that is) has a life-sized "Last Supper" wax display.
- WFAA did a poll on the popularity of Tony Romo's new extension with the Cowboys. 82% disapproved it. Note to those that think that has any significance: Any poll which requires action on the part of the public (picking up the phone, voting online, texting a vote) will always favor the opinion which is the more emotional. Those are the only folks that care to vote.
- I could hire someone to do my lawn, but I really, really enjoy mowing and edging.
- One more sports point: That 30 footer by Michigan of Friday night to send the game to overtime against Kansas was insane.
- It's the Beating that is April Fool's Day. Here is a list of most of the major pranks being pulled on the Internet today.
