RAMS RULE RICHMOND!!!

Congratulations VCU! You gave us one memorable week. I was front and center at the pep rally to see VCU off to Houston for the Final Four. I was on TV and interviewed by the Washington Times and WRVA. Going to the VCU bookstore to get my family Final Four t-shirts and seeing throngs of people smiling and full of excitement. I didn't even mind waiting 30 minutes just to get out of the parking deck. Then Friday night, 10pm, waiting in another long line at the grocery store to get my food supplies for friends coming over to watch to watch the big game. The man at the check out said the day had been Super Bowl 2- everybody getting their party food. We came up short but it's amazing to put VCU in the same b-ball category as Kentucky. Also this week, I heard an expert from Boston discuss substance abuse and he encouraged families to think about what really makes them happy. Is it worth missing family dinnertime to make more money, go to one more meeting, gymastics for 7 year olds etc. and then not know what is going on in your children's minds? Before the big game, the team eats their meal TOGETHER. "The ball goes up...and there you are...a shooting star...it's more than a contest, it's more than a race...you reach deep inside."
