Victory

This week can be summed up as follows, "Victory". I mean I should go buy a lottery ticket this week has been so filled with victories small, large, individual, team, and life.

This week started with a fright, BC climbed out of his crib and fell waking Lisa with his screams. That signaled that it was time for a big boy bed. That night BC and Lisa watched me convert his crib to a toddler bed. The boy slept in it all night and was in it in the morning. Victory.

This past week marked the end of the Macquarie office Biggest Loser contest. For those of you that don't remember (or don't follow the blog religiously), I won the Constellation Biggest Loser contest last year (link). There is no way I could put on a repeat performance this year with a bachelor party and Wedding the weekends before the final weigh in could I? 10 lbs lighter from the 30th to the 31st sealed the back to back championships in the Macquarie office Biggest Loser contest. Don't ask me how, but it did not include diuretics or saunas, but good old fashioned hard work. Victory.

We had Easter Sunday with both Grandparents at the Aquarium in Kemah. It was a little weird to have Seafood for Easter (since typically people go back to Meat and Eggs after Lent is over) but it was really good and a great atmosphere. The Easter bunny even got into the tank and swam with the fish. BC loved it. Victory.

In my last blog (link) I wrote about going to the Sweet Sixteen/Elite Eight with the family. Duke won both of those games to go to the Final Four this past weekend. Unless you live under a rock, you probably heard about the evil-empire/Goliath/America's-Team-to-Hate Duke taking the dream away from the Cinderella/Underdog/David/America's-Latest-Love-Affair Butler. Great game/instant Classic. Victory.



On the same note as the Duke Victory, I also won the one Tournament Bracket that I filled out this year. I always have a customary Duke Champion bracket, and this year it finally paid off. At the final count, I was in the 98.4 percentile. That may sound impressive, but that still put me in 77,234th place. Still I got first place in my group for the first time ever. Victory.
