Dirk Cotton is a retired executive of a Fortune 500 Internet company who loves to spend time with his family, fly fish, shoot sporting clays, attend college baseball games, sail, follow the Wildcats, and write. Everything else he does is just for fun. A computer programmer-cum-marketing executive-cum-financial planner who now wants to be a writer, he apparently can't decide what he wants to be when he grows up. He and his family moved to The Southern Part of Heaven in 2005 and couldn't be happier with that decision.

There are 65 teams in the Men’s NCAA basketball tournament. Only one will go undefeated for six straight games and win the national championship. Despite these odds, there are millions of us fans supporting lots of different teams and somehow convinced in our hearts that ours will be the one to cut down the nets.

re: fall back
This is hysterical - and I live in Hawaii - we don't even DO daylight savings time. This style of humor reminds me of Will Rogers. Excellent. Thanks for the laughs!
re: fall back
That was truly beautiful!
re: ten reasons to ignore lists
Awesome as usual.
re: ten reasons to ignore lists
Hey Dirk: appreciate your great sense of humor; and the lists thing: recently, trying to cure myself of expecting the worst (while not completly a nay sayer, I do have a tendency to think good things happen to other people, unless I do them myself); I decided to do a daily "Ten Good Things!" list. The first day, I actually surpassed myself, and went to a dozen. By the end of the week, I had one "good:" I've decided to abandon this list, as being a Pollyanna is not healthy for a writer! Cheers!

re: ten reasons to ignore lists
A fun surprise to stumble across at close to 4 am. It's original, hit my funny bones (because I am indeed guilty of a few of your points), and was a good, breezy read. Very enjoyable!
