I Guess It's Really Summer

Tonight was the last edition of "The Clubhouse" for the foreseeable future, as we take the summer off.

Goodbyes never come easy to me. Sure, it's probably time to recharge the battery, but I've also learned that there's no guarantees that we'll be back.

Not to say we won't. The plan -- COVID-willing -- is to be back in business in September, preferably from Grand Prix New York.

But, who knows?

We're all in such crazy times.

We went out on a great note tonight, with Andy Adler of WPIX and Jay Horwitz of the Mets.

Yes, I said the Mets.

Here's the thing about the Metropolitans: if they played in almost ANY other place, their history would stand out a lot more (Mets fan Dave Torromeo agrees with this point). But, they share a market with the most famous brand in the sports world.

One whose history dates to 1903.

But, Jay had great stories to share.

Each guest could have been an hour show.

Tonight was also HOPEning Night for the Renegades. The team (led by Morgan Rumpf) put together a roughly 75-minute virtual presentation, including a "game" called by a certain play-by-play announcer. Go to the teams' Facebook page to see the final product.

This week was also supposed to be the World Selects hockey tournament in Voorhees, NJ. Given their website and Twitter feeds have gone quiet, it's safe to say that everything is off.

We get closer.

Then we don't.

But, there's always hope.

So, for now, Wednesday nights are free again.

But, I look forward to us getting back together for some pizza, some wings, and a lot of laughs featuring TV theme songs, M*A*S*H references (Ah! Bach!) and Tossed Salad (the horse).
