Another week, another couple of odd endings. Last minute NBA heroics keep Toronto in the playoffs.

Did last week seem like a rehash of the week before? Basketball playoffs, every good seat in every good movie theater full of Avengers fans, and on Game of Thrones (spoiler alert!) there was drinking and betrayal and death. And, no spoiler alert, “randy” behavior (for our British readers).

Seems to be a roundball world lately. March Madness ended just in time for the NBA playoffs to start. It’s enough to make one suspect there’s a conspiracy afoot to keep sports fans from leaving the recliner to experience real world diversions like family and friends.

Every American adult winces when they see or hear the date, “April 15th.” Sadly, some folks housebound by the Spring Snow Smackdown compounded their misery by working on their taxes as the winds howled outside.

Spring is in full swing, and we know because of three things: Major League Baseball started, the Final Four game is tonight (go Texas Tech), and people are going nuts tr

Although many question why March Madness bleeds over into April, that doesn’t dampen the excitement for real fans. This weekend, Michigan State beat Duke to get into the Final Four.

Now that we’re officially into spring and caught up to being “sprung forward” an hour, don’t you feel rejuvenated? Or are you still fighting the snow and ice across much of the north? And could someone put the rivers back where they belong?

Still yawning from losing that hour of sleep Sunday? Feeling rushed? Even though spring doesn’t officially start until March 20 (a day earlier than usual, another reason for feeling squeezed for time), setting the clocks forward seems to announce spring.

Did the flood of news about 5G from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week make you hopeful or wary? Smart money suggests vendors tend to be, um, optimistic in rollout timelines.
