Inbox is empty, revision submitted, poster picked up - I'm ready to head out for a double-header of #SMDM22 and #ASCOQuality22. (Am I packed? Have I even started packing? Definitely no.)

A cute story about how much this year's NCAA tournament means to my dad (and all of us). (Subtitle: a news station reports that my late grandfather may be in charge of basketball now.) Specner328 abc11.com/march-madness-…
