What a way to end the month! The Patriots Charity team came to DHS to play the Duxbury “All-Stars” for charity. Our friends & neighbors had extra tickets & invited Coco and me. Not only were they tickets, they were VIP tickets. We got in early. There were wristbands for autographed footballs, thrown by Patriot players.
We stayed out seats in the front row, right by the Patriots bench. We were eager to see which Patriots showed up. I recognized Jonathan Jones early. He played college ball at Auburn. War Eagle! Coincidentally, I had my orange Auburn sweatshirt on. I tried to get his attention. I had to sneak a picture of hi on the bench to send to Caz.
Coco initially turned down a wristband. He gets shy at the oddest times. Even when Rosie, Caz’s buddy got one, he bailed. A second attempt did the trick though. He capitulated. In the end, he got to catch on over the shoulder pass from Elandon Roberts. What a memory! I am so glad we went. We have such a short time left before he goes off to college. I plan to take advantage of all that time.

March Madness 2019
Day one of the Big Dance! The boys and I made our brackets. We each did our own thing, so we weren't directly competing. I decided to start a group text with the boys and Demi. I thought Demi might enjoy the banter. Did she ever.
The boys were watching the first game, right out of the gate. Auburn was an early game. It started at 1:30 pm EDT. That meant I would not be able to watch tip off. I actually only caught the last few minutes, using my iPhone. That was enough to totally stress me out. It was wild. The Tiger let NM St stay close. Too close. It was almost like Auburn was going to give the game away, in the last 20 seconds. They missed their free throws. They turned the ball over. They didn't play the right defense. Somehow they maned to squeak out a one point win.
We all lost the very first game. Lousiville choked. I didn't realize there was some interesting links between Minnesota and Louisville. I do think had I known Rick Pitino's son was coaching Minn, I might have picked them. That is what I get for being a part time fan.
The boys texted updates. They "voiced" their enthusiasm. Demi really enjoyed seeing the interaction. We all won!
