"...like Gods watching from on high on Mt. Olympus."

From our perch high in the Alamodome rafters we watched UCLA get bounced from the NCAA tournament, their three week ride to glory abruptly derailed in the South Texas desert. 


Rocky and UCLA get knocked off track in San Antonio.

Epiphany - Life goes on.  Just minutes after UCLA and Memphis cleared the court, Kansas and North Carolina jogged on to rousing cheers.  The Bruin faithful were sad, but the rest of the world had already forgotten UCLA.  They were just another log on a 62 team bonfire, no more or less memorable than the all the other losers and might-have-beens. 

And we found comfort in this.  Wake up.  The Grim Reaper has all of us in his sights, and before our obituary hits the recycle bin the world will have moved on.  The only answer is to grab Life while we we are able.  It's why we are in San Antonio in the first place.  The only scoreboard that matters is the one that tallies our Moments.
