So, my prediction last week about the Masters turned out to be wrong.  I'll take it though, as Lefty came away with his second green jacket, and third Major in three seasons.  Tiger may be the #1 player in the world, but I think Phil is bringing a new revolution to the game with his two driver idea.  I wouldn't doubt that this becomes the Norm among players on tour in the next couple years.  That is all....

Well, we spent most of Saturday and Sunday watching LDS General Conference.  This is a great time to listen to the leaders of the church speak about the issues of the time, and give the members inspiring talks and direction for the next 6 months.  I was especially moved by President Hinkley's comments on Sunday morning.  He is 95 (going on 96) years old, and was recently admitted to the hospital to have some cancerous tissue removed.  It sounds like while the surgery was a success, there remains some complications from the surgery.    We all hope he stays with us a while longer.  I personally believe he has had the largest effect on the growth of the church save Joseph Smith only.  What a great man. 

AAAHHHH...What am I smelling in the air?  It must be Masters week!  This is one of the best times of the year.  From March Madness...to Augusta, Georgia and the Masters golf tournament.  My boy Phil Mickelson won last week by 13 shots.   He looks to be in great form to tackle Augusta National.  They have reportedly lengthened the course AGAIN this year by another 150 yards.   I find it funny that they tried to "Tiger Proof" the course, but all it has done is lead to 4 green jackets for him, and has basically taken the shorter hitters out of contention. 

What I expect to see this week:  Look for some un-notables to play well early in the week.  I think Tiger and Phil are back on their game...but it will be interesting to see if Vijay is back in form.  He has struggled with his swing plane as of late. 

Who will win?  As much as I want Phil to win...it's not his week.  In fact, I don't see Tiger winning this week either.  My pick is one of the younger generation...like a Justin Rose, Adam Scott or Sergio Garcia.  Should be a fun, fun week of golf.

Our family went up to University Hospital today to visit Mitchell who was hit by a car on State Street in Orem, Utah.  The good news is, he is feeling better and is in good spirits.  The bad news...it  sounds like his rehab will be long and intense.  We have been praying for Mitchell, and wish him a full recovery. 

We also decided that while we up in SLC, that we would drop by the Delta Center and see the new statue erected for the 'Mailman' Karl Malone.  I must say, that while the Malone statue looked very good, and Stockton statue that was erected last year makes Stock look like he's an old man.  We got a couple pics, but it was so windy that we didn't spend too much time wandering around.
