It is hard to focus on Folly Beach Real Estate sales with the "Big Dance" underway. The amount of excitement created by March Madness only compares to Christmas morning when I was a kid. The "Big Dance" may be even better than Christmas day as it lasts longer (21 days)! I highly commend www.ncaa.com for offering March Madness on Demand so I can watch any of the 63 tournament games on my computer, WOW! I have picked 7 first round upsets (bracket busters) and can hardly wait to see how they play out. To make matters worse the weather is beautiful and sunny outside and my wife can't believe I will not leave my lounge chair to enjoy life and the beautiful weather. She does not understand that "March Madness" is Life! Well the next game is ready to start, so I need to go. Remember Folly Beach SC offers a beautiful beach area to live or have a second home.
