· The current temperature in Augusta, Georgia is 65 degrees and Charley Hoffman and Sergio Garcia share the “in-the-clubhouse” lead at -4 after two rounds of the Masters. Useful information, I know.

· Speaking of the IPS Leadership Academy, I hope everybody has made a nomination of a fellow MTASer (or yourself) for being included in the 2017-2018 academy that will kick off this fall. If you haven’t, you can do so
here .

· Short week next week with the UT Spring Holiday being next Friday…which happens to also be Ralph’s 39 ^th birthday. Nice to have a long holiday weekend for your celebration Ralph.

· And since there won’t be a Friday Stuff next week (unless somebody else writes it), we’ll wish Sherri Happy Birthday on April 18 ^th …a great day to be 39.

· Happy 39 ^th birthday to David Angerer today!

· Some service anniversaries coming along over the next couple weeks…Rex joined MTAS on April 10, 1995 and Brett signed on April 15, 1996. Happy Tax Day, Brett and thanks to both of you for what you’ve given us and our customers over the years.

· Lastly, remember a few things…
o What each of you do every day for our customers and each other is recognized and appreciated. Really! It is!
o “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou
o Thirteen total hours of TV coverage of The Masters on the Golf Channel tomorrow and Sunday. I know you won’t want to miss a minute of it. Enjoy!

· A comfortable weekend for all!
