The Masters

Hello all,

I have been trying to keep busy. I have two possible jobs lined up which actually look promising, so wish me luck.

I wrote both a Masters Preview, as well as a six pack for this week.

I cannot wait to watch this tourney! I also cannot wait to go back to golf school at Stow Acres on Thursday and Friday. If I can't golf, I might as well be dead. I really want to get my handicap to 12 or lower this year.

Trust you me, that will take some work. I know I can do it, I just need to get my driver straightened out.

Anyway, here is the link to the preview: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/152657-breaking-down-the-masters-ten-questions-at-a-time

And here is the link to my six pack: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/152704-the-2009-masters-six-pack

Hope you all enjoyed todays, opening day Red Sox victory as much as I did!

The 2009 Shell Houston Open

Here is my latest six pack of selections for The Shell Houston Open.

My apologies for not posting the last two links here for The transitions Championship, or Arnie's Invitational.

I can't wait to play Widow's Walk this weekend!!!!

The Honda Classic Six Pack

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/133649-the-2009-honda-classic-six-pack

Follow this link ladies and gentlemen, to nothing but rock solid golf bliss. I again picked a winner last week in Geoff Ogilvy at 20/1 odds. Ogilvy marks my fourth winner picked this year in nine events. I am not bragging, but want you to know that you should heed my valuable advice if you have an account with a sports book. Over the course of a year, it is typically tough to pick 10 winners at 20/1 odds or higher. I am well on my way to having my best handicapping season ever, so get on board.

It's not even the Masters yet, and I have four winners under my belt.

I wish you all well.

Someone called me fat.....

Ok, not sure how many of you out there watch The View. I can assure you that I do NOT. Apparantly, there is some woman on the show named Elisabeth Hasselback who has a problem with the Nintendo Wii video game system.

As many of you know the folks at Nintendo have develop a gaming system, that actually requires you to exercise. I think anyone in their right mind would instantly think of this as nothing short of brilliant.

I guess on this game system you have some sort of platform to stand on that calculates your body mass index, or BMI for short. Your BMI takes into account your height and weight, and produces a result of what class your BMI fits into.

Allegedly some ten year old girl in England got on the Wii, and it produced a result back to the child labeling them as "obese". This has Hasselback up in arms. She feels that the labelling is "mean".

Please people, when can we start calling a spade, a spade in this world? Hassleback's argument is that the little girl is in perfect health and is in no way overweight. I saw pictures of the girl. She is indeed, a normal looking perfectly sized ten year old, that has absolutely no appearance of being overweight. So what is the big deal?

The big deal I guess is that a machine labeled a human a certain way. Turns out that human is not accurately described by the label. Can't you just move on? This story will hopefully end here won't it? I think not. After being labeled as obese when she was clearly not, the girl said that she felt "sad".

Hold on a second..... Let's say I was on the phone with someone who was trying to sell me something and they had some mixed up information that said Ms. Gallant instead of Mr. Gallant. Let's then say that certain someone referred to me as Ms. instead of Mr. How would I feel? Probably not sad, or mad, or anything. I can tell you that I would simply correct the person on the other end, and give them the correct info and move on.

I guess life just isn't that simple for ten year old girls.

The bottom line is, if you're called obese and you clearly aren't, what is the big deal? Her parents are there for her (hopefully) to cheer her up if she was sad about being called obese. From there they could hopefully explain to the child what obesity actually is, and in turn make the child see that they indeed are NOT obese.

I can't wait to see what happens when an actual obese kid gets called obese. Lord help us all on that rueful day.

I'm going to eat a sandwich........with EXTRA mayo.

It may actually be thawing out here in Boston. You know what that means.... Becketts and Variteks will be reporting to spring training very soon.

Be well,
