NCAA Tournament I: The View From 30,000 feet

I’m flying somewhere over Indiana at 30,000 feet and the nervous energy is already flowing. Those who know me well might generously describe me as “energetic”. Less generously so as ”full on hyper”. When I’m traveling? That goes to 11.

For an 8:00 AM flight, I needed to be at the airport by 6:00 which meant out the door at 5:00 which meant wake up call at 4:15.

I was up at 3:20 - after trying to go to bed at 10:00 and not falling asleep until midnight.

I‘ve had all kinds of thoughts (basketball and otherwise) bouncing around in my head since late last night so I thought I might as well get this NCAA Tournament opening weekend rolling by writing them all down. Because no way am I falling asleep on this plane.
