Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2025 Edition)

Posted on March 20, 2025 by Tom Garrett

I don’t even know who I am anymore. Today, on the first day of March Madness, I voluntarily scheduled three different meetings for this afternoon.  Three.  And I never even thought twice about it. The high school student who shared … Continue reading →

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2024 Edition)

Posted on March 22, 2024 by Tom Garrett

After a brief moment of glory derived from my championship-winning 2021 bracket, I returned to (poor) form in 2022.  In fact, my 2022 bracket was evidently bad enough that I decided not even to post my 2023 bracket. That 2022 … Continue reading →

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2022 Edition)

Posted on March 17, 2022 by Tom Garrett

A funny thing happened during last year’s NCAA Tournament. Breaking from my long-established record of futility, as prominently displayed in 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, I somehow bounced back from the one-year COVID tournament layoff to . . … Continue reading →

Having not watched a single complete college basketball game in all of 2019, I am hopelessly lost when it comes to March Madness.  Looking at my brackets from 2011, 2013, 2016, or 2017, one can see a clear and convincing … Continue reading →

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2018 Edition)

Posted on March 15, 2018 by Tom Garrett

It’s no secret that my grasp of March Madness slipped dramatically as I moved deeper and deeper into my 30s.  Even a quick glance at my 2011, 2013, 2016, or 2017 brackets reveals my descent into abject ignorance. But hope … Continue reading →

Posted on February 24, 2016 by Tom Garrett

In the wake of the death of the most brilliant legal mind of my lifetime, we’ve already drowned in stories ranging from simple political posturing to outright grave-dancing. President Obama should select a nominee for the Supreme Court.  Failing to … Continue reading →

I say every year around birthday time that I permit myself one post that actually relates to some aspect of my life.  This is a break from my usual, ironclad rule.  I think it’s incontrovertible fact that everyday people blogging … Continue reading →
