Bits and Pieces

-Michelle Wie not playing at the RR Donnelley Founders Cup this week down in Phoenix.  Her tweets on why not.  Money isn't an issue; it's finals week at Stanford.  Yani Tseng is playing and should be the odds on favorite to win what with her brilliant start to the 2011 season.

-On college hoops:  I am part of the Romper Stompers NYT make-a-guess-who's-going-to-win-it-all predicting society.  Have made my well thought out selections in both the men's and the women's brackets.  Guess what?  I have teams from the same school taking home the trophies, something which has been done only once before, right?  Not all that long ago.  2004.  Go Irish!  (Of course I'm serious.  What made you think I wasn't?)

-Indiana's high school hoops has its own madness - semi states this Saturday.  North Daviess Cougars going up against Indianapolis Metro at Southport and Rockville taking on Triton in Lafayette.  Go Cougars.

-And here on the local scene:  Golfing weather moving in.  Not here yet but later today for sure.  Hurray!
