Other than being tearful over the fact Cheyenne was about to be sent over the Rainbow Bridge, it was a fairly upbeat month. Celebrated Will's 19th birthday at Chavez without me, then D's birthday at Chavez, courtesy of Kyle. Dexter had a cancer scare, but both biopsies (cyst removed from his side and sample taken from his neck) were clear; just fat deposits.

In Basketball, Purdue got beat in the 1st round, which really took the excitement away.  I did watch a few games at BW3 on St. Paddy's Day.
