March Madness

So this is what they call March Madness!
On Tuesday I went to the XL Center to watch the UConn women win the Big East Tournament in a thrilling game.  It had all the hype of a Final Four game, was closely played and a pleasure to watch.
On Wednesday we began the holy season of Lent, and had throngs of people coming to church to receive their annual Cross of Ashes on their foreheads.  I hope and pray that it is truly the start of 40 days of drawing closer to the passion, suffering and death of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior for each of those who came to receive this blessed sign, and not just an empty ritual with some magical undertones.
On both Thursday and Friday - Friday on DVR - I sat mesmerized before my tv to watch the UConn men come from behind and squeak out a win at the Men's Big East Tournament, becoming the first team to win four games in four days at the annual event.  Tonight they go for the championship.
However, since it wont start until 9 pm, and we lose an hour of sleep due to the change to daylight savings time, the DVR will have to capture those magical moments for me to relive at a future date.
