Vanderbilt's loss to Georgetown

Well I just finished watching the ending to Vanderbilt's loss to Georgetown (65-66) in the sweet 16. It has been an exciting year for the commodores and it was an exciting finish.

As a migrant to Tennessee from "Tobacco Road", I've enjoyed what Tennessee basketball contributed to the NCAA this year. Memphis, Tennessee, Belmont (although I would have preferred to see Lipscomb) and my new favorite, Vandy!

It was a tough lost, but the guys have a lot to be proud of. I didn't get to see the entire game, but it is sad that the boys lose on what should have been a traveling call on the final shot for Georgetown. Even CBS was pointing out the disappointment, but that's the game of basketball. The referees can't make every call.

It's bitter sweet I guess. I don't know what it would have been like to have to root for UNC and VU in the next round (hopefully, I won't be typing about UNC lost in a few hours).

Way to go 'Dores!!! Great season!!!!

The Letter "W"

I work with a bunch of "web geeks" (a term they refer to themselves as). I've noticed that when they are discussing web addresses they begin with "www...." Makes since, right?

Only, here's the deal (and I am on board with them), none of them say it "Double U, Double U, Double U". Why would they? That's a lot of syllables and they have a lot of work to do. Instead, they save time by saying "Dub, Dub, Dub" (sometimes they only say "dub" once).

That made me think. What would it take to officially change the pronunciation of the letter "W" from "Double U" to "Dub"?

The only real disadvantage I see to making the change, is that it would screw you up when you sing your ABCs...go ahead and try it...it's hard...are you trying? Get your friends to try...it'll be funny.

I bet Elmo agrees!

My favorite thing about Spring Break

I know there are a lot of things people enjoy about spring break, but this morning on my way to work I realized a new favorite about Spring Break. It's that traffic in our town is a lot better during rush hours! I guess the Cool Springs area in Franklin just isn't a major Spring Break destination.

With everyone out of town on vacations, high school drivers sleeping in, college students away on service trips or partying at the beach, the traffic this morning didn't hinder my commute one bit. As long as TDOT and the construction crews don't catch on, I should be smooth sailing the rest of the week!
