"Sure, I think Wake Forest will make the Final Four!"

All signs point to victory for me in the NCAA tournament pool. Sure, it's early — but I feel pretty confident that I'll walk away with the spoils a few weeks from now. I'm not sure if my brother — the one kickin' it Alberto Gonzalez style in this photo — has my current address where he can send my trophy, but it takes a while for mail to arrive in Juneau, so he should probably send that forthwith. Chop chop!

UPDATE: My brother's wife requested that I remove the previously-posted photo from this blog. I tried to find an equally-humiliating photo of my brother, but I couldn't. So instead I offer you this porcupine, whom my dogs chased up a tree last week.
