Thoughts While ShavingNCAA Championship Game:  Villanova 79 – Michigan 62.

Master’s Golf Tournament begins Thursday in Augusta, Ga.  The field is set, interesting how participants are determined.  Former Master champs, 5 year exemptions for US Open champs, Open champs, and PGA champs, 3 year exemption for Player’s Champions plus numerous other categories for pros and amateurs.  Sergio Garcia, last years winner, will host the Champions Dinner at Augusta National this evening, the most exclusive dinner in golf.

One more sports note, mentioned Mackenzie Gore in a recent “Thoughts” column.  If all goes as planned, the Whiteville native is likely to begin his first full season as a pro in Fort Wayne, San Diego’s lowest single A baseball club, but he could climb fast, depending on his performance.  He was the #3 player selected in last years MLB draft, played in a rookie league (Arizona League) and had great numbers.  1.27 ERA, 34 Ks in 21 1/2 innings.

Organizers are planning a Genealogy group meeting for the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month.  The first meeting will be held Friday, April 6 at the Bladen County Senior Citizen Center.  For more info, call Carol Mitchell at 872-6331.

What a beautiful day, yesterday.  Should be more of the same today and hopefully some rain Wednesday.

Do you have a ‘bucket list’?  Think a trip to the Masters would be near or at the top of my list.  A quiet time watching the match on TV is not bad.

Hope your day is good.

Focus on remedies, not faults.  Jack Nicklaus
