It is amazing to me how much laundry a person can generate.

When I was by myself, I did laundry on Wednesday nights. It took one hour and twenty minutes to do all my clothing and household linens for the week.

Now I have to do laundry every day. I have a constant cycle of clothes going into the washer, clothes going into the dryer, and clothes going back upstairs to be folded and hung up on hangars.

Next weekend is the Talladega NASCAR race. My girlfriend, Chris, has gone to that race every year since she was 10 years old. Her mother lives about 15 minutes from the race track, so she always has a free place to sleep. That makes it really easy to go away for a weekend of racing fun!

Spent the day with my sister and her two daughters. Whew – it wasn’t that long ago that I was a teenager, but I don’t remember having as bad an attitude as these two girls displayed. Is it the times or my bad memory?

I have always loved the name April. I hope to someday have a daughter and I will name her April. I might let her daddy pick out the middle name, but her first name will be April.

“April showers bring May flowers.”

Next week will be the big basketball tournaments that are known as March Madness. There will be brackets published everywhere for people to make their picks and office pools will be humming. Although I am not a big fan of basketball on TV, I will probably spend at least one or two evenings after work with coworkers or friends at a sports bar watching some of the games with my favorite teams.
