Good Monday

Morning kids...I was thinking about all the negative crap I could write about to start the week...but why do that?....the last thing you want to see is the downers, right?...so let's get upbeat and live and love a little...

The biggest deal that a pro golfer can do is qualify for the Masters...a place that I have yet been...and there were a bunch of blokes trying like the dickens to get there in the last event prior to it at the Vallero Open...and out of nowhere came Martin Laird, a Scotsman...with a closing 63...and got the win and the trip to Augusta...albeit a very slow player...oops, stay positive CH...and also, fast closing, was Rory...who got 2nd...and is my pick for the Master's winner...

Academy of Country Music Awards...in Vegas...you know my feeling about the voting in all of these things...mostly bizarre...but what I like about this version is the number of singers who actually sing...standouts...to me...were Carrie Underwood, the Band Perry, Lady A, and Little Big Town...who just get better and better...

The Louisville Gals pulled off a stunner!...I am just so happy for that group...as the Umatilla kids led the Cards to a semi-final win over Cal...and meet the perennially tough Connecticut hoopsters....do they have one more trick up their sleeve?...

The guys play for their title tonight...the other Louisville team...versus Michigan...favored by 4...and I fear it will be more of a Card dominance...their full court pressure the difference...

LPGA...Inbee Park...South Korea...smoked the field with absolutely the best putting I have seen...by anyone...knocked 'em in from all over...long, middle, and short...who came in 2nd?...another South Korean, Se Yeon Ryu......the gal's 1st major in the desert...

The Padres...how in the heck can I keep this pos?...losing 9-1, being swept by the Rockies, limping home 1-5...well...it's a day off...nobody got injured...the season has to get better...they looked good in their outfits (Marsh's line)...they are at home...that last week is over...

The Clips destroyed the Lake Show...and took over LA...and put a major dent in the Laker's quest for the playoffs...as Utah won and took over number 8...this is a good thing...with the Clips win, they won the Pacific Division...and...SWEPT THE LAKERS!...

And for the greatest picture...here's our dog Sammi...checking out a creature at the bay...

This was mostly positive, right?....got to find that latest LBT CD...
