Happy Monday!
Sadly, I have to open this with some disheartening news, as I learned yesterday that a deadly car accident in Ballard claimed the lives of three recent BHS grads early this morning. A fourth passenger is fighting for her life at Harborview. I am still trying to find out who was in the car, but reports are they are in their early 20's, meaning it is likely I knew them. Scary and sad.
UPDATE: The Seattle Times has an updated story today. All members of the BHS Class of '08.

On a far happier note, I was able to watch Connecticut take on Baylor in the women's Final Four last night, in what was supposed to be a test for the Huskies. It was. Baylor crawled to within three in the second half. But let's get real here. UConn won by 20. They have won their Elite 8 and Final Four games by a combing 60 points. This is a team that hasn't allowed more than 50 points in the entire tournament. They will play Stanford, a team already a 12-point victim earlier this season, a Tuesday's national championship game.
What will I be doing on Tuesday? Watching the game of course, but only after coming down from a double dose of Monday excitement, which will include the Mariners' Opening Day, as well the men's title game. Fittingly, the Red Sox and Yankees kicked of 2010 last night with a thriller at Fenway.
