Dog In This Hunt

When we lived in Texas, sometimes we heard the expression, "I  got no dog in this hunt" (or "in this fight"). A person would say this when pressed to give an opinion or get involved in a situation where the outcome was of no impact or importance to them.

Turning it to the positive side, I do have a dog in the hunt for the NCAA basketball championship. Purdue is the only Indiana team to be seeded (number 3) and invited to participate. Last night they beat Tennessee (seeded 2) in overtime 99 to 94. What a great game! The Boilermakers had a big 18-point lead but Tennessee caught up after the half. In the last seconds of the regulation game, Carsen Edwards was fouled and made 2 out of 3 shots to tie the score. He played well (29 points) though missed some free-throws. The story of the night was senior Ryan Cline. He made 7 3-pointers in the game, 3 in 4 minutes of play. He was hot! 

Purdue now advances to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2000. They face number-one seed Virginia this weekend though. Lots of great basketball ahead to watch.

We bought new recliners which were delivered Wednesday morning. My husband also built a walnut bench-style coffee table. 
We are sitting pretty.
