Great Day

Well today certainly is a great day. Let's count the reasons:

1. It's Friday afternoon and we got out of class 1.5 hours early today (that was a first, believe me!)
2. It's 55 degrees here in La Crosse (1st day I can remember it being over 50 since I've been here
3. Tomorrow is supposed to be 64.
4. We have a 2:15 tee time at the very prestigious (yeah right) Trempalaui Mountain Golf club (www.golfthemountain.com) tomorrow afternoon
5. I have no real homework this weekend
6. Today marks the end of 10 weeks in La Crosse. This is truly monumental because it is the halfway point in my training here. It's all downhill from here until June when I get to come home.
7. I'm eating a delicious sandwich right now (which doesn't mean alot to anyone but me, but trust me, this a fabulous sandwich (pastrami, turkey, hot peppers, and mustard, on toasted wheat bread).
8. Johnson Wagner (Virginia Tech golf team-mate is the leader of the PGA tour event in Houston thru 2 rounds) Please don't quote me on this, but I believe that if he holds on and wins, he will be invited to play in the Masters next week!
9. #8 was a great transition into this number....next week is MASTERS WEEK!! Quite possibly the best week in sports of the entire year (and without a doubt the best week of the year for golf). I'll try and post my Masters predictions this weekend.
10. I think that for the first time in about a month I feel close to 100% healthy. It is a great feeling to not be sick!

As you can see, I'm flying on cloud 9 right now and the only thing that could be better is if I was experiencing all of this at home in Roanoke.

Till next time sports fans...........stay glued to the Shell Houston Open this weekend and root for Johnson Wagner
