OT UPDATE: G and K March Madness Pool Leading into the "Sweet Sixteen", the standings are as follows: Eric Jacobsen 44 Magic (Leslie) 43 biri02 (Kyle Bishop) 42 Dr Id 41 bi-ri (Martin Bishop) 39 sextant360 (John Stichnoth) 39 ucstomper (D Ltt) 34 It should also be noted that Uncle Frank's "lock" on the tournament, Stanford, bowed out in the second round. It seems that he didn't follow his investment strategy and went with the shiny pebble in Palo Alto instead of getting behind the Silverback Gorilla (UCLA), who have a shot at their 12th National Championship.

re we need to book the flight Here's a plug for priceline.com. I am taking family to Williamsburg, Va to "see history" in June. I'm paying four fares, so I wanted a good rate. Travelocity e mailed me that Salt Lake City (where I'm picking them up) to DC(best fare airport within driving range of Wlmbg) was down to $200 rt. Great fare. So I went in to buy and every date I put in was "booked"...they would say "try this one" I'd put that in "booked". By then I was cursing and furious so got out of there and went to priceline.com and "named my price" ($200). Got it in about an hour and half, on the dates I wanted to go!!!!! Plus taxes of course. Then Priceline.com emailed me that they are now doing car rentals. For a big group one needs a minivan, n'est pas? So I checked Hertz for its AAA price...$600 two weeks no unlimited mileage. Went into priceline.com and requested a minivan for $500 unlimited mileage for the two weeks...back comes a note "too low we can't get it". So I tried $538...and got it!!!! with the unlimited mileage. I may have more money to spend now than I ever did before but I'm not tossing it away when I can get good deals! The computer is so wonderful!!!! Freeus What a lovely lovely market day...look at csco (and our leaps) go!!!!
