Duke wins NCAA basketball championship with Coach K.

Sera won the NCAA basketball tournament because she had Duke in the finals and I didn't. Actually, she won our two-person pool Saturday with Duke's win over West Virginia. Had Duke lost that game, I would have won, based on points amassed.

Duke is one of those teams you love to hate because it seems they always win. Actually, I was pleased when they lost in the finals to Connecticut a few years back. I love watching the NCAA basketball tournament, something I have faithfully followed for 32 years.

"Give me liberty or give me death."
Patrick Henry
Revolutionary 1775

FAST FACTS:

Patrick Henry is perhaps best known for the speech he made in the House of Burgesses on March 23, 1775, in Saint John's Church in Richmond, Virginia. The House was undecided on whether to mobilize for military action against the encroaching British military force, and Henry argued in favor of mobilization. Forty-two years later, Henry's first biographer, William Wirt, working from oral testimony, attempted to reconstruct what Henry said. According to Wirt, Henry ended his speech with words that have since become immortalized: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"
