I do not post often but for the many of you who know me slightly, you know me as a longtime and loyal fan. Watching and listening on the radio and TV since 1967. Donating and attending games since 1988. Was in San Antonio in 2004. Was in Memphis 2 weeks ago..Even rode the elevator with JC and made him chuckle
So after 55 years I pick this week to leave the continent for the first time. And all the way to Cape Town to boot. I travelled alone to visit my daughter studying abroad at UCT this semester. It has been idyllic. Beautiful people, low prices, and it's always shiny.......errr, it is sunny a lot
But sadly no March Madnees at all. Spent hours my first night on Long Street - the Bourbon Street of CT - searching for basketball. I found soccer. I found rugby. And I found cricket. Endless and endless hours of cricket, and patrons fighting over the results. Jesus!
So my only means of Uconn relief............has been the Boneyard. Endless hours of reading. Makes me feel closer to home. Not that I'm in a rush. It's 23 C and shiny. That's 75 and sunny for you BY'ers
Thanks again

PS - If you are ever in town, the beaches are world class. especially Camps Bay. But a beer as Take Away is no no. Ummm. You can great brews on the bars by the coastline, but not to go. Not New Orleans
