Kurt Vonnegut was an author best known for his novel Slaughterhouse Five. Vonnegut believed that all people needed to be creative simply because it was good for the soul. One of my favorite Kurt Vonnegut quotes is:
Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow. - Kurt Vonnegut

The recent warm weather has allowed golf enthusiasts to get back out on the greens, as the Neepawa Golf & Country Club (NGCC) has opened for the summer. Early on, the cooler conditions across the region did not make a round of 18 that much of a pleasurable experience, but CPGA head golf professional for the NGCC, Landon Cameron, said that the weather is finally starting to cooperate. Cameron said that has allowed the course to come into form a bit quicker than usual.
