In the final analysis there is no solution to man's progress but the day's honest work, the day's honest decisions, the day's generous utterances and the day's good deed.

I got 6 out of 8 correct today. Not too bad I don’t think!
For a while there at the end I thought Mizzou would lose and mess up my bracket, but they pulled it out! Go Tigers!
Now we have a break until Thursday when the next round happens!

Here’s my picks (in red) made early Sunday morning.
I know, I know, I cheated by not making my picks until part way through!
I honestly don’t think Mizzou can beat UConn if it comes down to that; so that one is more a hope than a belief!

Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.

Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.

I meant what I said and I said what I meant.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.

Just tell yourself, Duckie, you’re really quite lucky!

I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose.

Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So… get on your way.

So you see! There’s no end to the thing you might know, depending how far beyond Zebra you go.

Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.

I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them Sam I am!

You’re on your own, and you know what you know. And you will be the guy who’ll decide where you’ll go. Oh the places you’ll go.

Yes, it’s Summer Sausage Weekend yet again. The boys made up their usual batch of exceptional summer sausage and had lots of fun doing it!

We ate breakfast as Smith’s near Bolivar. Here’s the group shot! Thanks to Kelly, Bob’s daughter who met us for breakfast, for taking the picture!

Here’s Garland and Richard by the sign where the school was held.

I got some photos of this wonderful statue when we were here last year, and I had to get some more today!

Left: Mom got some knitting down when her skills weren’t needed on the computer. Above: Mom and I watching and listening to Dad with great interest.

And here’s the family group, Mom, Dad, Richard, Tina and Garland.

Garland had a great time at the school and enjoyed meeting Mom and Dad for the first time.
