Tonight our Long Distance Dedication comes to us from Florida where a man has mixed emotions about his upcoming transition at work. His name is Chris and he writes:
Dear Casey,
I know most of your Long Distance Dedications are from one person to another (except for that one about dead dog, but I know that’s a sore subject). Tonight, I have a dedication of a different type and I hope that you will play it.

Mother’s Day is just a few days away and if you’re still looking for the perfect gift for Mom, Groupon is currently offering the Grow Camp Ultimate Vegetable Grower for just $259.99 (it lists for $399.99). As you can see in the picture it’s planting pot that features a removable greenhouse feature to keep out bugs and birds.
The ad copy says it’s perfect for balconies, patios, or prison cells….which makes me wonder what Mom was growing in this “vegetable” grower to land her in jail!
Happy Mother’s Day!!!

The University of Kansas will win this year’s NCAA mens college basketball tournament! Call your bookie, place your bets, plan your vacation with your winnings!
The reason I’m so confident with my Kansas March Madness predictions is because this is the first year in probably 3 or 4 years that I haven’t picked them.
My strategy was simple: treat your tournament picks like your lottery numbers and play the same numbers every time! You’re probably going to lose anyway but the one year you’re right you’ll look like a genius!
Great plan, except it hasn’t worked!

March Madness kicks off Tuesday, but not the college basketball one that depletes millions and millions of productivity from the American worker. The March Madness I’m referring to is of a higher calling — the Conclave where the College of Cardinals meets to select the next Pope.
For the record I’m not now, nor have I ever been Catholic; nevertheless, the whole process is fascinating to me. As a non-member of the Church it is more like a presidential election for me as a news and political junkie I am sucked in. What I find most fascinating, however, is how this election for a world leader is conducted without months and months of name calling, back stabbing, assigning blame, and deliberate obstruction of fact — and I’m just talking about my friends on Facebook!
Honestly, if I could, I’d be glued to the TV for the next several days while to watch the proceedings, waiting for that tell-tale puff of white smoke, like a white flag of surrender after a Rand Paul filibuster, signaling the end of the Conclave.
