If you're reading this, you probably already know that I'm not the biggest sports fan in town. BASEBALL-too long and boring, FOOTBALL-just don't understand it, and Josh's new favorite NASCAR-five or six hours of nothing but driving around in circles (thanks Jason!).
HOWEVER, this weekend is the MASTERS, which has always been a momentous occasion in the Wathen household. Masters Sunday for our family involves three things: 1. Getting together to watch the tournament. 2. Listening to my dad's armchair analysis (and memories of Masters-past). 3. Betting. In keeping with tradition, each family members draws the name of one player who has a shot at the green jacket, and throws in five bucks (although a certain family member has been known to conveniently forget his five bucks...)
This year, Josh and I won't be around for Masters Sunday, so my dad and I are settling on each picking a player. The low finisher has to buy the other person dinner. My dad chose Retief Goosen, and I had to choose Mike Weir-simply because my sister knows him and nannys for his kids sometimes. I just hope Vijay, the male chauvanist, doesn't win.
Other items of note:
*Utah was well represented in the masters by 21-year-old BYU player, Clay Ogden. He didn't make the cut, but at least he got to go. And he's even from O-town.
*It's raining, which is currently causing a rain delay for the fifth straight year
*Phil Mickelson has a chance at his third major. Many of the other big name players are in contention.

Amanda, nice pick with Mike Weir. He's only 5 shots off the lead right now (as of this writing).
