The other March excitement is, of course, the NCAA basketball tournament. It is my favorite sporting event of the year. We organized many pools and filled in many charts over the years and actually had one of the worst fights of our marriage over the bracket. Doesn't everyone fight about the NCAA bracket? Of course, this year I wish I could fight with him about it and drive with him to the post office on April 15th.

March Madness - Taxes and Tourney
Just like the weather, Norm and I always went round and round in March. I always wanted to get the taxes done ASAP because we always got money back and he always wanted to be in the car in the line at the post office on April 15th. When we were first married, I was kind of amused when we had to drive our taxes to St. Paul. Needless to say this amusement ebbed over the years.My anxiety grew because he wouldn't let me help but put it off until the last possible moment. He always liked to be organizing the paperwork while listening to the Masters golf tournament. ( Did I happen to mention that our lives revolved around sports?) More on these opposing forces later.

We love you, Marge. Can't wait to see you in a couple of days.
Love your comment, Marge. You and Norm were such good complements to each other, and I know how much you miss him. So do we all.
Hmmm, I know another couple who's lives revolve around sports! We don't argue over brackets--I'm not that informed! Love you.
I think that when I first worked with Norm sometime he would take a vacation day on April 15th to do his taxes.
Since I was frequently very late and made several evening trips to the main Post Office on April 15th, I could relate. But I did not resort to taking a vacation day on April 15th. That seemed extreme even to me.
