Hey Richard, each year I think of you at Australian Open tennis time.

Against a Covid-19 backdrop, what a triumph this years Aussie Open has been. On all but a few days there has been appreciative and knowledgeable live crowds, every day outstanding tennis, and finally clearly worthy female and male champions.

I hope attending an Aussie Open is still on your bucket list Richard. Would love to bust open a day with you. :D

Michael, yes I was watching. As in every day at 3:30-4:30 am. We actually have a group that wagers on each match, I tied for first on the WTA side.
The AO is indeed on my bucket list, got to scratch off the French Open in 2017.
Depending on the outcome of our current situation I will be heading your way in either 2022 or 2023.
I’ll look you up when it finally pans out...

Bare bones is alive and well. Harrison added a poling platform recently, he is an expert at putting me on redfish.
We also caught snook and mangrove snapper.
