We keep double-booking ourselves because we're using different systems (she's iCal, I'm Google). Need something that actually syncs and maybe lets us
Final Four picks? I've got Kansas, Duke, Alabama, and honestly no idea for the last spot lol. Usually watch with my oldest but he's more into anime th
