What a difference a year makes. On Easter Sunday, I sat and watched Tiger Woods win The Masters. Except, it wasn't the 2020 Masters. No it was a CBS rerun of the 2019 Masters tournament, in which Tiger completed his historic comeback, winning his first major in more than a decade. It was fun to reminisce because, obviously, I'm a huge Tiger fan. But, it also was a dose of reality smacking me right in the face - as if I needed one.

I am aware that, in the court of...

To boost morale for WWI...
