True March Madness

Whether you like college basketball or not, the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions "March Madness" is the NCAA tournaments.  It's no big secret that I don't like March Madness - the games preempt some of my favorite TV shows on CBS, and honestly I get tired of all of the talk about how people are doing on their brackets.  Even though we're in the first weekend of the NCAA tournaments, there is yet another March Madness that we're having to endure this week -- the madness of this weather. 

The first of the week, a lot of us had air conditioners on.  Don't jump to conclusions - we all know that it takes a good week of above 85 degree temperatures before the switch is flipped at The Compound, but we did have the a/c on in the car earlier in the week.  I even talked to a few friends who actually did turn on the a/c in their homes earlier in the week to make it more comfortable so they could sleep.  Then on Wednesday, we went from using the a/c in the car in the afternoon to using the furnace in the house in the evening after the storm front moved through.  It's been downright cold ever since.  The true March madness comes from not knowing what to wear when you get dressed in the morning.  You don't know what coat to wear in the morning.  Us adults are just as forgetful as kids - we'll wear a coat in the morning because it's cold and then when it's warmer in the afternoon as we leave we end up leaving our coat at work.  The madness ensues when it's cold the next morning and we're looking around the house for our coat and then we remember we left it at work.  And you don't know what type of shirts to wear, either.  If you wear long sleeves, chances are it will be like an oven at work and you'll roast; if you wear short sleeves then it's a sure bet the a/c will be cranking in the office and you'll freeze.  We some of the basketball teams, we just can't win.
