Most people are at the age where they are using their phones to document the good times in their lives. I am at the age where I use my phone to take pictures of labels that I can’t read and use my phone to enlarge the print so that I can read it.

On this day: March 31, 1973, Boston Bruins defenseman Bobby Orr scores his 3rd hattrick of the season to become the first player in NHL history to score 100 points in 4 straight seasons.
Also, in 1982, American rock group The Doobie Brothers split up.

Let’s look into the Red Sox schedule a little, eh? At least teams in the same division only play each other 13 times instead of 19. The Sox longest homestand is 10 games and that is following immediately by a day off and then their longest road trip (10 games). No other homestand is longer than 7 games. They also have a 9-game road trip out to the west coast. They are scheduled for just 3 days off during a 41-day stretch the end of July ‘til the second week in September.

By this time next week, The Masters will have begun.
Over 800 firearms have been intercepted at airport checkpoints so far this year. What are you thinking???
The Bruins have won NHL’s President’s Trophy which is for the most points in the regular season. What a season… so far…
