If I were to itemize my time spent, writing and family would compete for the number one and two spots.  As for number three… Marquette Basketball.  In between listening or watching every game of the season, I help run MUScoop.com, an “insiders” basketball message forum.  Although I die a small death with every loss, there are few pleasures outside of family that come close to my affiliation with the Marquette Warriors.  And while there is plenty of basketball yet to be played, Marquette is treating me to another fine season.  They are currently 17-2 overall, but more impressively, 7-0 in the toughest conference in college basketball. I already have goosebumps in anticipation of Friday’s game with Georgetown.
