I went down for a second to get some Diet Coke and saw Elizabeth and Katie sitting on the couch. So I said, “I am going to be nice to you tonight – since the games are starting.”

And before I could finish, Katie said, “Oh no! We are going to have to watch football!”

I am truly heartbroken at this failure. Of course, then I convinced Katie to come upstairs with me to fill out her bracket – so I will keep hope that I can fix this failure.

Editor’s note: Katie wanted me to mention that she was doing better – because we had multiple conversations this week about sports. She was very sweet that she intentionally asked me questions about sports since I was watching a game.

Also, Charlie was then picking on Katie for making the blog, and so I reminded him that he will likely make the blog when Katie’s picks that she did quickly and probably doesn’t even remember will do better than the ones he agonized about.

Multiple failures I guess for myself – but I can always feel success that I have a wonderful wife and two great kids.
