Welcome to LA, where the first full week of March is about as calm as the month gets for us Angelenos. Yet there's a lot to get or be excited about. The first and foremost is which, it's Southern California in March. We're forecasted for 81 here in Long Beach, today, and it's still supposed to be the standard 72 and sunny in the South Bay tomorrow. In Chicago it's 39 today, but hey, a nice 57 and windy tomorrow.
Then there's baseball. Ah, baseball. In March, it's just anticipation in town, as the Dodgers and adopted Angels gear up in Arizona for Opening Day in April. Basketball is in the second half of its season, and the Lakers and Clippers prepare for the stretch-run of the NBA regular season. The hockey playoff picture begins shaping up, spring football at the universities is arond the corner, and of course, March Madness looms large. There's even this little even next weekend known as the Los Angeles Marathon.
But this week, the first full week in March, with wonderful weather, the home teams are out of town and the marathon is on the backburner. This week, as the country brims with anticipation of bracketology, is Championship Week. And in LA, that means the Pacific Life Pac 12 Championship at Staples Center. Unfortunately for LA, both USC and UCLA have been eliminated in the early rounds, but Staples and LA Live are still teeming with action as the semis continue tonight, and both the men's and women's championships tomorrow.
I'll be on hand tomorrow, and will be sure to get some photos of the festivities to share. There's always something going on in LA on the weekend, and this weekend, it's the Pac 12 Tournament!
