Does anyone have a favorite in tonight’s NCAA basketball final?
A friend who works in finance went to the NCAA Final Four games on Saturday. It’s about three hours round-trip from NYC in a two-decades-old mid-sized business jet, which he chartered for about $40,000 plus $2,500 for Signature Indianapolis’s event fee (over $13,000 per flight hour, in other words). The black car service was $900 round-trip to the stadium, normally an 11-minute drive from Signature IND. “Rental cars were $1,000,” he said, “and due to terrorism concerns you supposedly can’t park anywhere near the stadium.” How much were the tickets? One of his companions is so elite that he got prime seats for free as a donor to one of the universities (it’s the same ticket/seat for two back-to-beack games).

Your soul in the VIP seats? My mom’s sister took her in a VW camper van to watch the final four, to help her cope with losing my dad at the age of 52. I could care less about gladiator contests. To each Nero his own though, I guess.
“If you love pets, make sure to donate to your local animal shelter.” is what I would tell such a preposterous “friend”.
