Amerika, I’m Disappointed In You…

I believed better of Amerika back in 2024. I didn't love Harris as a candidate, but knew then (and now) that she was the far better choice to Trump. The shock has turned into fear, then numbness, and now it is birthing rage.

Chicago Dad Bloggers Group - March 2014 - Goose Island

The NCAA March Madness month is now in full swing. Every year I mean to pick out brackets and every year I forget to do it until AFTER the games actually start. This year was no exception. I pick teams, but it’s not for an office pool. It’s just to see how awfully I can pick teams. I’ve got a system, and it has nothing to do with the team’s stats, coaching or even jersey colors. I rank teams based on what locations they are in and how much I like visiting that area of the country.

I’ve never been a big sports guy. Growing up I watched my share of games on TV, but it was never anything beyond something on in the background for noise. The occasional instant replay was cool to watch. Even now I know the basic rules of basketball, like to attend baseball games, and watch the WorldCup because a country I like is in the finals. I’m looking at you Netherlands. Taking it a step further you should know that the Super Bowl, to me, is just a reason to have people over and watch commercials worth Tweeting about.

Last night I attended a NCAA Tournament watching party sponsored by Dove Men + Care. They had events in LA, Denver, Philadelphia, Columbus, and of course, Chicago. I was at the one at Goose Island Brewing in Chicago’s Wrigleyville neighborhood.

I attended the event with my brother-in-law, Melvin. He’s the biggest basketball fan I know and so happens to be a dad blogger too. He blogs over at GuinnTribe.com. There were a couple dozen dad bloggers in attendance. None of them, except Melvin, seemed to know anything about the teams and player history. It was perfect. I fit right in!

We had good conversations, snack food and as much beer as we wanted. Most of the talk was kid and blogging related with a little bit of networking, photo ops and social media thrown in there. Thanks Dove Men + Care!
