Ice is Gone, Water is Cold, Now What?
We currently are in what I believe to be one of the hardest times of the year to catch fish–early spring. Do not get me wrong, there are some great fishing opportunities now. However, the water is still very cold and the weather is very schizophrenic. Whatcha gonna do? Well, for starters, my buddy Greg …

If you want a powerful cartridge with an established track record for your semi-auto handgun, it really comes down to two choices. They’re both great, so I think we can agree that choosing between the 10mm Auto and the .45 ACP can be a difficult proposition. So, why not buy a handgun chambered in each

US Open Releases Statement on 2020 Schedule
The tournament doesn't intend to change its dates, but doesn't rule it outThe US Open has released a statement on its schedule with regard to the Cornavirus pandemic, which leaves room for the tournament to make changes if it deems necessary.
“The USTA is continuing to plan for the 2020 US Open and is not at this time implementing any changes to the schedule,” the tournament said in a statement.
“These are unprecedented times, though, and we are assessing all of our options, including the possibility of moving the tournament to a later date. At a time when the world is coming together, we recognize that such a decision should not be made unilaterally, and therefore the USTA would only do so in full consultation with the other Grand Slam tournaments, the WTA and ATP, the ITF and our partners, including the Laver Cup.”

Earlier on Tuesday, the French Tennis Federation announced that it would be moving Roland Garros to a September 20 start date, which means that the tournament would begin just six days after the men’s singles final in New York.
Some, including Simona Halep's current coach Darren Cahill, took the opportunity to both praise the US Open and reprimand Roland Garros for today's decisions. Many believe that the FFT acted unilaterally in their decision to move Roland Garros.
This is a proper statement & position relating to a future tournament, unlike our friends at Roland Garros. Let's take a breath, take our time, of course try and protect the 4 Majors as a priority, but come together to work together as a whole. ATP, WTA, ITF and Majors be all in. https://t.co/1v84z90wU6

But with the Coronavirus pandemic still growing across the globe, it is unknown which events will need to be rescheduled. There are currently over 197,000 confirmed cases of the virus worldwide, and the US has over 6,000
Earlier on Tuesday Wimbledon also released a statement, presumably in response to the Roland Garros news.
The AELTC is continuing to monitor and respond to the coronavirus situation, working closely with the government and relevant health authorities.

Guy Forget Talked to Nadal Before Roland Garros Announced Postponement
The King of Clay was notified of the French Tennis Federations decision before news broke on Tuesday… While many in tennis circles were surprised about the French Tennis Federations decision to postpone Roland Garros until after the US Open (Sep 20 to Oct. 4), Rafael Nadal was reportedly in the know.
According to French Federation President Bernard Guidicelli, Roland Garros Tournament Director Guy Forget reached Nadal to inform him of the decision just before the news broke.
"We had Rafa on the phone we tried to reach other players,” said the president of the FFT during a press conference, according to RMC Sport. “It was Guy who got Rafa. His feeling is that it is a good decision that allows clay to stay on the calendar.”
RG tournament director Guy Forget called Rafa Nadal before the announcement. Not surprising. https://t.co/6f4CsVGGXm

If the calendar holds, Nadal would attempt to defend the two major titles he currently holds within a five week span. But we probably shouldn’t worry about that now, there are simply too many unknowns in the current calendar due to the Coronavirus pandemic that is rapidly approaching 200 confirmed cases late Tuesday evening.

To Savor
Wine has always had a prominent place at business and family gatherings. Think about how many networking or sales dinners include wine. Look at the holidays – the day before any major holiday is the biggest shopping day for wine. However, the beautiful, brown, warming spirit – whiskey – has been nudging itself in, and now has a seat – front and center – at both business and family gatherings. However, this beautiful beverage is still an enigma to many.
Six Reasons Why Deer Hunting on Block Island is Not So Easy
Block Island’s empty roads and fields full of deer attract a few hunters each year. Everyone says it’s so easy to get your deer over there but the “off season,” so called, which isn’t actually a thing anymore, can be tough because the place is a mad house of distractions. Winter is the island’s social hour; beaches are clear, sand flats are full of clams, islanders can get to the post office more than once a week and there’s a seat waiting for you at McAloons’s Restaurant and Bar. Even just that makes it difficult to settle into the edge of a wet grass field and concentrate on the business of hunting.
