March Madness

[Rob G]

I’m in a local March Madness pool. I’ve been participating for about 10 years. I’ve never won. This year didn’t seem any different, considering the team I chose to win, Notre Dame, was eliminated in the first round. The final game hasn't been played but I just learned this morning that I tied for first place in the local pool. I thought I was out for sure and didn't watch one game all weekend. But when I checked the pool this morning, I was tied for first place. Technically, the winner would be decided by who came closest in predicting the final score in the last game. But since both of our teams were eliminated, we decided to just split the winnings.

Now I just need to decide what to spend the money on. I’ve been meaning to get some more cigars, so now seems like a good time to do that. I won about $350, so I'll be able to stock up on some of my favorites.
