On a personal note, I've misread the catalog for my MBA program. I had been resigned to taking 5 years to finish, but it turns out it should only take 3 years or so, even less if I can handle an extra class once in a while, which I think I can.

Georgia Tech is out of the tourney, much to my dismay. It's disappointing that a team with 5 seniors that went to the national championship game last year just never quite seemed to get it going this year. On the other hand, Paul Hewitt has brought us the best years of Tech basketball since the early 90's. I'm really excited about next season. We'll probably have Jarret Jack, one of the best point guards in the country, back running the show, since I doubt he will go in the first round of the draft. We'll have four great sophomore players, and four highly touted freshmen coming in. Add in the return of Mario West, one of the hardest working players I've seen, and it could be an exciting year. Should have some ups and downs, but it will be fun!

I bought a pull-up bar for my apartment. It's pretty cool, $40, and fits on the door frame in such a way, that I feel complete confidence that my weight will be held up just fine. I've gone from doing 2 to being able to do 11 pullups, in just a couple of weeks. My back muscles are noticeably bigger and harder, so it's working! Now if I could just learn to enjoy push-ups as much. I'm really pushing this bodyweight exercise thing, but it's tough, a lot of it just feels so awkward. Bodyweight squats are really causing me problems. Put 200 lbs. on my shoulders, and I'm fine, but without all that I keep losing my balance.

Poker is going well. I'm not a winning player yet, but I'm not losing either, just kinda sticking around even.
