Basketballs are round, just like donuts.
Did you know that CBS is changing “One Shining Moment” this year? Out with Luther Vandross; in with Jennifer Hudson. It’s true!
I find that I’m less able to deal with change as I grow older. Anyway, my only solace will be snacking on a box of free donuts after I beat everyone in my annual March Madness pick’em.
By now you know the drill.

If, by some miracle of circumstance, you’re able to beat me, then you’ll win the donuts AND the right to make a papier-mâché crown so that you can force your co-workers to call you “King of All Donutland.” I mean, whatever floats your boat.
You don’t need to know anything about basketball. Tracy consistently beats me every year despite following a “closest to New England” selection strategy. This year she has Vermont beating Syracuse in the first round.
Besides, extra bonus donuts are awarded for good sports.
Tournament games start THURSDAY AT NOON. Be sure to join by then. I’ll send a reminder when it’s closer to game time.
I’m hoping we can get 50 contenders again this year. Please pass this along to friends.

P.S. - First bonus donut goes to the first correct answer to the following word problem:
It’s 4pm on a Sunday, and Todd is sitting in his apartment, seriously jonesing for some donuts. What’s the address of his nearest fix?
Hint: It’s a trick question, but no, the answer isn’t “he already has some in his kitchen,” even if that might be true.
