It felt like the right kind of morning for Dixieland Delight. As I was listening, I received the FANTASTIC news via Facebook that JMU won the CAA Championship last night in Richmond and is now NCAA March Madness bound!! While I typically would have felt an intense wave of F.O.M.O. (fear of missing out), I rather felt extreme pride and happiness for my fellow Dukes. It's such an exciting thing for us and I know that the energy on campus is going to be thriving more than ever today. I wish I could see it but I the fact that I know it's there and can imagine it makes it even better in some ways.
Listening to Dixieland Delight made it even more appropriate. That song has become a JMU anthem for me (much like how "Enter Sandman" is for VT folk) and I found it a beautiful scene to be listening to it, with the sun still glaring through my window, as I learned all of this.
And naturally, since I was on Facebook, I began to "like" every status/picture/comment/suggestion/thought bubble relating to the game and our victory. And then endless scrolling kept me doing this for nearly ten minutes and I gave up on trying to like everything because there was just too much to like! And I never give up on "liking" Facebook statuses!! So this was my morning, and I'm just really happy to be a Duke and alive and have the sun coming through my window :)
And, of course, the visual aids:

London Love and Duke Dog Delight, Kristen
