Congratulations on a great season guys!

The #9 Men's Basketball team at Michigan State fell short last night to a deep benched #1 seed North Carolina. Boy are the Tar Heels good. They kept sending in fresh legs to challenge our season weathered players and through out the course of the game, just wore the Spartans down. Not to discredit the amazing talent displayed by #50 Hansbrough who in no doubt in my mind, was the last night's hero for the Tar Heels.
After a grueling season, the Spartans proved themselves worthy and earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament, making it 10 consecutive years for Coach Izzo and the MSU Men's BB Program.
The Spartans did not receive much acknowledgment during pre-season and nor should they. They had lost some veterans the year before and were regrouping. People were skeptic and a tournament bid did not look favorable until consecutive wins over Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Indiana came in mid to late February.
These boys deserve a standing ovation for what they have accomplished this season.
They gave MSU fans and Alums all over the world a reason to cheer for their green and white.
Congratulations and well done.

Doesn't Katie Curic and Baby Noah look a little alike? Or am I just crazy? Baby Noah is Jon and Lauren's little boy for those of you looking at this scratching your heads. They are actually the couple that got me into blogging in the first place... Visit them at HowBourgeois

i'm kinda excited to visit taiwan later this month. a lot has changed since i was there in 2000. taipei 101 for instance is now the world's tallest building. quite an accomplishment for a country of 23 million and roughly the size of maryland and delaware combined. the architectural and engineering marvels of the building are amazing.

Steaks !!! Yeahhhhh !!!

I grilled up some steaks with our new DiLonghi indoor grill set tonight. The rear two slabs of sirloin were dusted with my buddy Dave's rub(I will write more about this soon. Man, is it good), and the two in front were just seasoned with salt and pepper. The meal was a hit and we had enough leftover for a kick ass lunch tomorrow... Planning on making some wraps with alfalfa, avocados, julienned cucumbers and sliced shell steaks. I think a shiso/ponzu sauce drizzled over the goodies will help bind all the flavors together. OOOH, lunch is going to be so good.
