New York is allowing golf courses to re-open! That's great news for this family. We (my son and I) actually "trekked" to central Connecticut yesterday (about an hour and a half away) to play (because at the time we booked our tee time, all courses in NY were forced to be closed). Started out as a great day, and then the wind picked up, cooled things off, then began whipping up even harder. It was a beautiful course, but when the wind made it so we could barely grip the clubs, and the distance back to home, we decided to call it quits after about 13 holes. At least we got out and had some good fun together.

The golf courses here in NC weren't forced to close. They did have to lock up the golf carts so no one could use them. Also, the courses requested that nobody touch the flags. Golfers had to leave them in the cup. Unlike fitness centers and playgrounds, golf courses were considered essential exercise with a safe distance between golfers.

Alright,

I've read a bunch of these and never commented but I feel like today is the day.

My wife and I are remodeling a 6,000 sq ft building for our new Pediatric Therapy clinic. It's been a rough go but things are finally on track. All of our rough in inspections are done and we can finally start putting up drywall. This is our next major step before my hardest part of the job when I do the painting and flooring. (Probably gonna turn off trading at that point cause I'll be spending at least 10 hours a day at the building.)  This building has been a dream of ours for almost ten years and it's finally coming together.

Now to the trading world. After some quality trades over the last few weeks I have eclipsed 4600 Buccaneers, 225 Western Illinois Alumni, my first Khalen Saunders, tied for #1 in Don Beebe collection, reached 1200 different Jerry Rice cards, finished my first 5,000 count card box of Buccaneers (not 5,000 in the box but I'm definitely out of room) and completed 100 trades on this site. Thanks to all of you who have traded with me over the last year. 

The cherry on top, I get to hopefully watch Brady throwing to Evans, Godwin and GRONK!!!! Never thought I would be cheering for Gronk and Brady but I sure will be this fall. GO BUCS!!!

A Pediatric Therapy clinic practice sounds awesome. Best of luck with that. Putting your own building together sounds great. At least it will be done the way you both want it to be.

A couple of weeks ago one of my teenage nieces was admitted for emergency abdominal surgery initially thought to be appendicitis. They found instead a tumor wrapped around her ovary. The surgeon wasn't certain what the biopsy showed so he referred them to Texas Children's Hospital here in Houston for further testing. Today, great news! It's benign, non-cancerous! Thank you, Lord, for your mercy!

That's the kind of new we all like to hear. Great for her !

I shall not comment here for the time being. I'm sure others have happy things to say. I'll be patient. =)

I have hit trade #250 today thank you everyone

One of my models (and photos!) appeared on the Dale Earnhardt Jr. TV show on NBC Sports this week. I slept through it and didn't get to see it but a friend of mine recognized it and was able to get a photo of his TV! 

Awesomeness all around (the model, the photo and the fact it appeared on a TV show)! There should be way you can see the show, right? Perhaps via downloading/streaming TV show archives, an on-demand offering or something else?
