Spring Break/March Madness/Saint Patrick’s Day 2023

Spring break is here and the campus was a ghost town. I rather enjoyed it. The quiet is a nice break. Spring break also means March Madness. My second favorite sporting event. Usually I have a bracket but this year I didn’t. I also had to watch most the first rounds on my work computer because I just do not have the time to take off for basketball this year. Thank lord it was slow.

I ordered a security camera for the house to spy on my dogs. I want to find out which one of them is getting things off the counters and destroying my things. I suspect it’s Owen. We shall see in time.

Saint Patrick’s Day!!!! I took the day off to celebrate. Kidding. 8 took the day off because the week was so slow and boring. Besides, most everyone on campus was going to be off so why not join the crowd.

Yvette and I went out for some green beers and snacks. Also, basketball. She didn’t know about my random sports quirks. March Madness is amazing. We went to one bar and decided to go to another very crowded bar. Ran into some work friends and sat with them and had lots of laughs. I also got to be a total smart ass to an asshole that was seated next to us. I relished in it. The old grumpy fuck made our waitress cry. Some people are trash. Overall the evening was great and when we made it back to my house we crashed. We both don’t do evenings out so it took us out. What a great night filled with lots of laughter. Happy Friday!!!

Something about this week made me think of my ex wife. It made me sad. A failed marriage. It’s probably because we would go somewhere, usually Alpine, TX. It made me think of my dad. It made me think of my past. The past…. You roll into a town you have not been in a long time and buildings you remember are gone. Torn down. You know something is different but you don’t immediately catch. The past…. No matter what happened, it’s a part of you and you do miss moments. Do I miss my EX? Sometimes. She was my friend. I am very happy where I am and I wouldn’t trade this. Life is something. Our departure was a good thing for me. I’ve found someone. I miss my dad. I miss Alpine, TX. Yes, I miss my ex wife. I think of the days we were happy. We lost that time. I’ve found someone else to make memories with and I’m happy. Im happy. Lord, I am happy.
