Hey! Remember last summer when we tried to raise more money than CFC and didn’t, so we lost a bet, but still raised a ton of money? The time to pay that bet out is coming. It’s happening this Friday. So, be ready, and look for more details later in the week.
In the US, this weekend was basically all about one thing - March Madness. For the uninitiated, it’s the start of a three-weekend-long single elimination tournament featuring 64 college basketball teams that slows the typical American workplace to a crawl for several days a week as people talk about the games, their brackets, and the upcoming matchups.
The bracket thing is huge; brackets range from being free among friends for fun to having serious buy-ins and prize funds. But this year I think I found the best prize available, for the impossible (no, seriously, it’s impossible) task of picking a perfect bracket: you can win a million-dollar house in LA (or a million dollars). Considering that no bracket submission in the history of the tournament has ever had a perfect bracket, I think he’s not sweating losing his house.
