What a great week of weather up here! The snow has melted and we reached upper 60's several days this week. Got out for our first walk and grilled out another night. It's nice enough in the morning that Rowan has moved on to jackets instead of coats. That's her one morning with her Monkey Jacket on.Anyone print off the Popdose Oscar ballot and play along? Brooke and I tied with 28 points each. We did pretty well with the bigger awards, but she made the wrong move on not picking Mo'nique. That one would have clinched it for her. While I enjoyed Avatar when we saw it in December, The Hurt Locker was a very powerful movie. I watched it last Friday night, Brooke did not. I think she wishes she had now that it won Best Picture, but she didn't feel up for a war movie at the time. And it most definitely is a war movie... [IMDb.com]
Movie insiders love the fact that a movie like The Hurt Locker won the biggest prizes at the Academy Awards. [LA Times]
Don't forget to "spring forward" before going to bed Saturday night. Daylight Saving Time begins at 2AM Sunday morning. We lose an hour's worth of sleep and maybe more. [Wikipedia & CBS News]
Might need that hour with the NCAA Tournament Selection Sunday this weekend. The fax machine will be buzzing with brackets next week as the Bracket Pool gets into full swing. The Square Pool sold out on Thursday and we did the drawing for numbers that night. As always, it's going to be a very fun and interesting three weeks. Don't forget to get your bracket to me by noon Thursday March 18th. [Wikipedia]
News Quiz and more after the jump...

With new ownership, things are going to be different around the Cubs and Wrigley Field. We can only hope that means winning too. [Chicago Sun-Times]
