First of all, I'm not happy that I finished next to last in the WacoFork Bracket Challenge. But I knew on the first Friday of the tournament, when my Final Four pick Missouri lost to Norfolk State (or whoever it was) that my bracket was doomed and I was going to be paying out a few $5 gift cards.
But a friend of mine reminded me last fall that sometimes you have to take lemons and make lemonade, so I've attempted to do that this week. To that end, I've given the people who beat me, of which there were many, the option of a cup of coffee ($5 gift card to Starbucks) or a frozen yogurt in the form of a $5 gift card to Oso's Oh So Good Yogurt, which is one of our WacoFork advertisers.
Not surprisingly, Oso's is the preferred option so far.
The big winner, Dan Ingham of KWTX television fame, picked Poppa Rollo's for his top prize of a $25 gift card and Oso's for his "I beat Chad" prize.
It's an appropriate choice as we are getting into a time of year when froyo at Oso's is a fantastic choice — really any time of day, but especially around sunset when the weather outside begs for a little dessert and conversation on the porch.
So there's your lemonade.
