Kentucky & Minnesota in Missouri

My long hiatus from blogging was due to a glorious spring break trip down to our 2nd home in Branson (see our story at www.Minnesota2Branson.com). While there, I was congratulated by a gentleman coming out of a stage show at Silver Dollar City for having snared such a great basketball coach at the U of M. Puzzled at the remark, he pointed out that I was wearing a U of M sweatshirt. We had a very pleasant exchange. This gentleman was from Kentucky, a huge college basketball fan, and obviously mourning the loss of Tubby Smith. He went on about how lucky we are to have Tubby, what a great person he is and how much he'll be missed at Kentucky.

Welcome to Minnesota, Mr. Smith! The folks in Kentucky think we should be glad to have you - I think they are right! NCAA Tourney here we come!
