Go Butler Bulldogs. And Thanks for a cleaner house!

I love the Butler Bulldogs. I love the kind of young men that play for Butler.
I love the kind of basketball they play - "The Butler Way."
I love their coach Brad Stevens, his intellect, his coaching ability, the kind of
gentleman and family man that he seems to be. I loved it when pregame they showed BU and VCU warming up on the floor, and they tuned in to hear the coaches. VCU coach was throwing himself around the floor, being kind of crazy. Butler boys were going through their regular routines, and Brad Stevens said, "Now, warm up appropriately."
Don't you just love that?
Everything about the Butler program just seems to be outstanding. It is something for which Butler U. can be very proud.
And, indeed, the whole state of Indiana has adopted this team. There is a great deal of excitement in our state. We can't wait for tomorrow night.

So, how did they help with my house cleaning? It's like this. I love them, but I simply cannot sit down and watch them play. They've won every game in the tournament by a mere few points. The anxiety is excruciating.

Last night, I very much wanted to sit down and watch every second of their game against Virginia Commonwealth U. But as soon as the game started, and VCU scored their first basket, I got so nervous that I had to leave the room.

I came back, and watched a few more plays. But BU fouled, and I had to leave the room. This went on for awhile. So finally I got the dust spray and cloth and began
dusting in another room - dusting with a vengeance. Pretty soon I was moving from one room to another, dusting HARD and polishing. Don would yell to me after each play, "VCU by three." or "BU by one." Pretty soon it was half time, and I had dusted everywhere but the living room where the TV was on.

So, the second half started, and I tried to sit and watch again. But pretty soon I went and got the bathroom cleaning supplies, and scrubbed both bathrooms. Then I
put all the towels and bath mat in the laundry and started the wash. All the time I was getting updates from Don. I was finally beginning to wash off the kitchen cabinets, when Don said Butler is ahead by eight, and there are only two minutes to go.

So, by golly, I did watch the last two minutes of that wonderful game, and did get to see all the celebration afterward. AND I have a pretty clean house, too.

I just don't know what to do tomorrow night. How will I ever make it through a
championship game? All I can say is,

"GO BULLDOGS!"
