Friends, The winner of the 2018 US Open for golf this year was Shinnecock Hills.

Friends, What a sports weekend…. C-A-P-S, Caps, Caps, Caps. As you know, I am a Detroit guy but kudos to my second hometown who won their first Stanley Cup ever on Thursday and it was a thrilling ride for DC.

Friends, After a fun trip through SoCal (yes, my kids always love that we drive right past things like the San Onofre nuclear plant, San Gorgonio Wind Park and Andeavor’s LA Refineries), we are ready to get back to the action. Before that though, it is exciting to see the energy in DC and Vegas […]

Friends, Well, it seemed Scott Pruitt was getting a rough ride last Thursday on Capitol Hill but the White House Correspondents Dinner speaker Michelle Wolf may have underperformed him Saturday. Apparently, many didn’t particularly like a number of her jokes and her coverage was worse that NRDC’s coverage of Pruitt. I am sad I missed […]

Friends, I launch today on the 18th anniversary of one of SNL’s best sketches EVER: Christopher Walken and “More Cowbell.” I’ve got fever… and the prescription is… What an end to the Masters as Patrick Reed held off the charging Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth to win his first Major. Reed, often seen as one […]
