My apologies for missing last week’s edition. Thanks to everyone who reminded me. I am finally back to work after a six-week hiatus. We are totally slammed, and I guess it’s a good problem to have. Personally. I liked it better when I was a stay at home dad. My wallet was flush and had lots of time to scribe. Getting back to normal folks.

Several have commented on my recent article. The “I Finally Learned How to Fly Fish” column has since gone viral. Many of you reached out and gave me some love. They shared their stories, and I have even made a few new friends. I continue to throw bugs every single chance I get. The spinning rods are now in the shed. I am still a novice but learn something new each time out. Some nights are definitely better than others, but my new challenge has been very rewarding. I am experiencing some successes and slowly crossing off each species. Hoping to land some Susquehanna Smallies on giant articulated streamers this weekend.

Michelle and Jensen are wrapping up the school year. Yes. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused some major educational snags. Online learning just isn’t for them. I pray that our teachers and kids will head back in the fall. If not. Perhaps our local administrators can come up with some better plans.

I haven’t had the urge to golf. I take that back. I have a few rounds in at MARYDALE MANOR. You should check out our page on FACEBOOK. Our friendly neighbor has five holes set up in Cogan Station. They range in yardage. This facility is professionally managed by Jensen Spencer Golf. My neighbor mows the grass, and I pay for everything. My son sits back and collects the money. We were a little disappointed with our opening day numbers, but Jensen scored $25 worth of VBUCKS. His contract is up for review this autumn.

The Sporting World remains at a complete standstill. The only highlight was the ten-part documentary on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. “The Last Dance” was just splendid. I thoroughly enjoyed reliving my youth and learning more about the greatest team of all time.

In the fall of 97, Michael Jordan allowed a film crew to follow him around. They were hoping to win their sixth NBA title in eight seasons. It resulted in a stunning portrait of the world’s most dynamic personalities. “The Last Dance” follows the Bull’s iconic season from start to finish. The 10-part exclusive docuseries follows some of Jordan’s final chapters of his outstanding career. The series takes its name from a phrase coined by then Bull’s Coach Phil Jackson. Everyone knew that it would likely be the last ride for the core members of the 1990’s Bulls Dynasty. Jensen and I watched every episode. I already knew, but he quickly figures out that Michael Jordan was the GOAT. Stay safe. Cheers.
