I have seen a lot of basketball games, but the national championship game on Monday night was a real winner when it came to commercials. Sometimes there were commercials after just one minute of play. One thing for sure, when the game takes almost three hours, the players get plenty of rest when they are playing for only 40 minutes! There were so many commercials that it even affected your ability to enjoy the game. Let’s make CBS the National Champion of Commercials – at least for one day!
On Wisconsin!
If you happen to be in Tampa – Clearwater Area of Florida and want to golf, go to Cove Cay Golf Club in Clearwater. The course is beautiful and challenging. If you see our good friends, Pat or Bill Shriver, the new owners, tell them that Malcolm and Heather sent you! The above is a view from the 9th green.
