Heels up!

Congratulations to the Tar Heels of the University of North Carolina, for besting a scrappy Illinois squad to take the NCAA basketball championship.

Were I a betting man — and I'm not — I would have had my money on the Fighting Illini. This is why I can't see the sense in wagering on anything over which I don't exercise at least a modicum of control.

Have fun in Chapel Hill. Try not to set the town on fire.
