Random Monday Morning Thoughts

• Justin Beiber visited the Anne Frank House and signed the guestbook, “Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.”
• When Australian Adam Scott won the Masters yesterday, did I hear one of the commentators call him, "The Wizard Of Aus?"
• I understand Tiger Woods being penalized for the illegal drop, but the PGA has to do something about the timing of violations. Every other sport has a violation called on the spot, whether right or wrong, and then the game goes on. To have a violation called the next day is silly. 
• One of my most embarrassing moments: When in my 20s I asked my buddies, "Where's the Masters being played at this year?"  I still remember the stunning silence.
• The Natalie Merchant concert was very good only because my expectations were lowered. Ninety-five percent of the concert was composed of songs I had never heard before. The encore, at least, had the crowd come alive as she sang These Are The Days. 
• But I heard people silently weeping during a song called, My Beloved Wife. 
• She initially walked out on stage to muted applause because most of the crowd didn't recognize her (me included.) A few more pounds and graying hair was the culprit.
• As great as the Bass Hall is, they flash the lights to signal the show is about to start by having a lady with a long stick push a button by leaning over the bar. 
• A man shoots himself at the NRA 500 yesterday. Only in Texas. 
• Paradise model update.
• The Mavericks celebrating by shaving their beards because they got to .500 is a testament to how far they have fallen.
• You wake up one day and suddenly everyone is younger than you. And you really don't change that much from, say, 25?
• Tourism alert: "Six strangled, one decapitated in Cancun."
• My daily Dennis Prager rant: He had a show on Friday with this premise: "If you lower your expectations, you'll be happier."  Despite being an obvious observation, he treated it like he had discovered electricity. And it's a childish basis to live your life by. 
• If that's all they've got on the Kaufman ex-JP who is a "suspect" in the Kaufman murders, they've got a long way to go. Here's the best coverage.
• That Wise County wreck over the weekend makes me amazed at how safe cars are these days. 
• 60 Minutes had a great segment last night on Marfa, Texas. There's a Prada shoe store on the highway which is always locked up.
• What does this mean from the Update: "PARADISE CITY COUNCIL — A typing error will force the Paradise City Council to revisit last month’s decision to pay off the mortgage on City Hall at its regular meeting in that very building 6 p.m. tonight."
• Steve Williams, the former caddie of Tiger, always knows where the camera is.
