Glad to do it. I know you are so tied up with your work and travel.

Are we openly talking about this round--or are we gonna wait until the decision next week?

I think people can do whatever they prefer, Bob. This is where we'll place the info on the outcome of the round when it happens, but it seems like people can surely talk about it in advance if they want to.

It’s up!

Well my bracket is ... not doing well. I'm 0 for 2 so far. Par for the course for me, I guess!

Lauren, is that your cat???!!! She is very pretty! and clearly well-read!!

My partner got her before we got together, but since she’s lived with me for about eight years now, I get to claim parenthood as well. ;)

Me too. At least there's no suspense as to when the first miss will occur. Ah well.

One more in the "oh-fer" club.

I just updated the bracket an only 3/30 are perfect, after two judgments....

I knew Passenger wouldn't be a popular one, but sad to have my first 5 star read knocked out. The heartbreak begins...

Worse than random picking....

I couldn't even handle the stress of deciding. I rarely fill out a bracket. I think I did last year, but I probably never even checked it - that is how stress I get. LOL
