Golf Season!

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

118-59592This week begins the first major tournament in golf.

The Masters tournament is always a prestigious tournament that draws a lot of attention.  Phil Mickelson looks like one of the favorites to win this tournament since he won the Masters last year, and he just won the Houston tournament Sunday.

Phil’s a lot fun to watch because he likes to take chances on tricky shots.  He’s my pick to win this major tournament.

Where Is Spring?

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

It’s hard to believe it has been 7 weeks since I’ve chatted with you, but it has and unfortunately, not much has changed.

Depending on where you live, you may still be waiting for spring to arrive like all of us here in Ohio.  We have had a few teaser days here and there but that’s it.  After a day or 2 of nice weather (60 degrees) we have a week of cold weather (30’s).

I know spring is close though because Major League Baseball’s opening day is this Friday, and with baseball comes nice weather.  So hopefully, next time we chat, we will all be wearing our shorts and enjoying the great outdoors.  And, of course, getting ready to leave for the summer show circuit.

Spring Forward!

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

Spring AheadDaylight Saving Time officially began on Sunday, March 13th at 2:00AM.

This past Sunday the sun began to rise one hour later in the AM and set one hour later in the PM.

For some this means waking up to darkness or loosing an hour’s sleep. Then for others, like me, this is the beginning of longer daylight hours and holds the promise of warmer weather just on the horizon. Not sure how anyone else feels, but after this winter, warmer weather will be most welcome!

When I noticed that this coming weekend was the official start of DST, I did a little research.

Did you know that: (more…)

RobinBelieve or not March 1st is this coming Tuesday!

I personally LOVE March!  It means spring is on its way.

The song birds will be coming back up North pretty soon.  I am not sure if this is just an Ohio thing, but they say when you see your first robin it is a sure sign that we will be enjoying the warmer weather in no time!
