Hey folks, today I announce to the three of you who care that I’m done with primary predictions; at this point, they come so fast and furious that I can’t keep up with them (totally missing the ton of them this weekend – why did nobody call me out on my 3/2 post? I know, nobody’s reading!) and still, you know, life.

That said, I can’t say I’m all that upset with this weekend’s results. It’s keeping things competitive, which I think is good for the Democrats overall, and continues contributing to the beautiful trainwreck that is the implosion of the Republican party.

But yeah, I’m going to officially stop posting predictions, although I’ve kind of been doing that anyway unofficially.

Otherwise, the weekend was not awful – it was busy, but it was a pretty good experience. The girls had a really good weekend dancing, especially Mary, who came home with a fistful of first place medals and bumped up divisions on more than a couple of dances. Also, my lovely wife had a good perforance and stressed out a hell of a lot less than usual, because she cut back on things, only competed the stuff she really wanted to do (the family ceili event with all three girls doing a nice three-hander was pretty sweet); and didn’t sweat anything else.

For my part, I did my usual volunteer wherever they needed me. This time, I handled admissions, some concessions, general running around, and score tabulation on the open competition (the only one I could do without compromising the process, since my girls are spread all the hell over the place), which was interesting – it was pretty simple data entry, though i got to geek out a bit with Mark, the developer of Feis Keeper, the online tool WIDA uses to track events and scoring.

When the girls dove into this new hobby, I didn’t think I’d find so much enjoyment in learning how to run these type of events. The fact that I get along swimmingly with the folks who run the school (Aliese, you’re exactly the right kind of deadpan snarker I need in my life) helps tremendously.

Anyway – this week: I’ll keep my eye on Michigan (of course – calling it for Bernie and Kasich, because why not), but am going to otherwise be focused on getting through the test cycle at work I’m in charge of, and, you know, trying to be a decent husband/father, and maybe, if I have a little time, finally coming up with a decent bassline to back up Scott on this…Concarolinas is just around the corner:
