Remember to get your March Madness brackets in this week! Well, do it right now if you're in one of those moronic "you have to pick the play-in games, too" pools, but regardless, this is the week to pretend you've watched a single college basketball game all year! This is the week to nod sagely when someone mentions "RPI" and act like you know what it stands for! This is the week to pretend you aren't just picking teams based on whose mascot is prettiest!

Do you ever have people start noticing a particular story of yours, seemingly for no reason? Because I've had four or five people add The Showmare's Tale to their libraries in the past couple of days, and I have no idea why.
