I haven't been blogging like I usually do and there are several reasons.

UNC dashed my hopes against the rocks like Babylonian infants. I wanted to write something positive by reflecting on the season rather than the game, like several of my fellow bloggers, but I couldn't do it. I am going on record now as declaring Saturday's game the worst loss in UNC basketball history. The only game in all of my sports memory that I think made me feel worse was the FSU football game my sophomore year when UNC was undefeated, ranked #4, and had better athletes position by position--but still managed to get blanked 21-0 at home in a slow, cold rain. The only thing that makes the Kansas loss less sickening is that it is basketball, and I know there will be other chances.

Other reasons for the silence:

I've become incredibly busy at work.

I'm sick.

I've had a series of stressful situations arise that took up all my energy.

And now, we're leaving for VA this afternoon, so it is unlikely that I will do much blogging again before Sunday.

SO... hang in there. Periods of blogging duldrums are usually followed by explosions of blogging ecstasy.
