The Expo

How often do you get beer and wings at a marathon expo?

Greetings from Music City

Sadie and I arrived in Nashville last night, along with a bunch of her
Rogue teammates, for the Country Music Marathon. The flight was nice
and had no problems.

At the Nashville airport, Sadie spotted Kevin Nealon (actor/commedian)
walking ahead of us. Our first celebrity sighting of the trip.

We're all staying near Vanderbilt at the Embassy Suites. After
breakfast a big group of us went out for a short run. It's pretty
warm already and there seems to be a bunch of short rolling hills.

Off to the Expo for packet pickup and to drive the course.

Going to The Masters

We have our passes. On Saturday I finally get to see Augusta National
and The Masters. I'm glad we had a glass of wine with dinner because
I wouldn't be sleeping well tonight.

Goals for our day at The Masters

1. I want to see Tiger hit a few shots up close.

2. I want to walk the entire course.

3. I want to hear a "Masters roar"

4. I want to "Boooo" Weekley.

5. I want to hang out at Amen Corner for a while.

6. Sadie wants Adam Scott to see her.

On the way to The Masters

Well we're on the way to The Masters. Currently we are sitting in the
Atlanta airport waiting to make our connection to Columbia, SC. We'll
be staying there and making the drive over to Augusta in the morning.

It's probably going to rain this afternoon, but tomorrow looks like it
will be perfect. I can't wait.

Hello Win Column

Rangers 9
Cleveland 1

This is the first time since 2003 that I can say the Rangers are
undefeated.

Best TV Sports Week

For me, this is the best TV sports week of the year. Final Four.
Baseball opening day. The Masters. That's 9 days in a row of my
favorite events.

One thing that will be different this year is that on Saturday Sadie
and I will be at The Masters instead of watching at home. :) More on
that later.
