The Natural Way:
Life is a funny place.
Especially for dreams
And hopes for caring.
Lost somehow in schemes.
Injustices bearing.
Did you hear about the cow that ate bluegrass and mooed Indigo.
“April Showers” connotes happy days ahead. Isn't that interesting. We've been programmed. But if I were to describe this April day as it is, "Icy. raw, gloomy, rain,” it would feel like, “Get me the hell out of April!” Yet, we like April. Maybe its Easter and the buds that each day are peeking through a little bit more.
Buds are peeking until they are peaking.
The Question:
If Scottie Scheffler wins the Master’s this week, it will give him back-to-back wins. He will join six others who won two in a row. Who are etehry?
The Headlines:
--Markets Soar Higher 3%+ at Oening – Dow by 1,300+, Nas 600+, S&P 157; Stocks Fall back by Noon; Close in Deep Red; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Getting Nervous, Urges Trump to Start Talking Negotiations; China Will never Give in to Trump, Big Country Officials Say.

The Masters starts Thursday. It will be a good one and 12 LIV escapees will be there. Here are the odds: Scotty leads the way looking for a repeat. Next is Rory, followed by Colin Morikawa, Bryson DeChambeau, Lon Rahm, Ludwig Aberg, Xander Schaufele, Justin Thomas, Joaquim Niemann, Patrick Cantlay and Brooks Koepka.
The Elton John/Brandi Carlile special the other night on TV was good fun. Elton knows how to put on a show. But I think 2 hours is too long.
Have you noticed how I often use the word “But” a lot after making a positive statement... Grouchy curmudgeons do that. Nothing is perfect.
Being a CEO of an apparel and a clothes/shoe accessories Company is an unhappy place today. Viet Nam with the 46% Tariff is clothing manufacturing central for the USA these days. It's a fact of life: The price of clothing and shoes will go up if manufacturing stays there or if it comes back here.
The NCAA Men’s final certainly was exciting, but I was not captivated by the game itself. It looked like just another of too many college basketball games.
But the real news is that Madonna and Elton John finally made up. How great is that, America. I glance at Celebrity news items every morning just so I'm not a complete USA cultural outcast. But how inane are the paragraphs I read.
I was reading about the science group who recreated a creature called a Dire Wolf, which became extinct 10,000 years ago. They are significantly larger than the grey wolves of today. I'm thinking what a disaster that would be if a coupe escaped and started procreating. What a mess. We can't get rid of Zebra Mussels in the Great Lakes, Kudzu in the south and green crabs in Northeast marshes. I know there was a movie Jurassic Park. While quite creative, some say it is under dispute and even the inventors say it is not exactly a dire wolf with white hair and strong jaws, but it looks like it. But I got to hand to to them for creativity, taking knowledge from examining a 13,000 yo tooth and 72,000 ye old skull and pulling out DNA in a most artful way. The real purpose of this work is not to provide our museums with creepy throwback creatures, but to create organs from nothing with hopes that in the future it could be used to replace lost limbs and organs. The company is called Colossus.
But, watch out for weird animals. You never know!
Did you hear about the veterinarian who proposed birth control pills for dogs? It's part of an anti-litter campaign.
I'd like to see somebody in our government to walk up to the mikes to explain why there are trade deficits with various countries. I haven't heard that yet.
The Answer:
Scottie would join Nick Faldo, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Those who have won two or more items are Nicklaus 6, Woods 5, plus Arnie who won four times. The three-time winners are Jimmy Demaret, Gary Player, Faldo, and Phil Michelson. The two-time winners are Scottie, Horton Smith, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Tom Watson, Bernhard Langer, Ben Crenshaw, Jose Maria Olazabal and Bubba Watson.
I feel like I am in floating in outer space because everything doesn't feel quite right:
