We’ve reached a dead end together. The summer has arrived. You’ve been your usual unresponsive selves. My calling is becoming clear to me and it isn’t this spam blogging and spam texting everybody every day.
Why should I waste my cycles on an unresponsive and hostile audience?
I hereby declare I’m taking the summer off with the loosely defined goal to find myself and identify my purpose. Don’t know who I am. Don’t know why I’m here. Not sure where I should be. These are issues I’ve been tangling with for a long time.
Need to find some answers. Can’t be distracted writing these blogs every day. Need time to focus. Want to meditate. Like Crash Davis said at the end of “Bull Durham,” I just “want to be.”
Need space to move, time to reflect, roads to meander down.
The only things on my sports agenda are to carry the Olympic torch into the stadium on opening night (feel obligated), write about swimming for SwimSwam.com (always cover Olympic swimming for this hotbed for swimming fanatic hotspot), and work on my logo 3 on a new hoop I’m erecting in my back yard because Idea Man won’t stop bugging me to do so.
But no blogging. Need a summer off. This downtime may leak into Fall. This could be the last blog Sammy Sportface ever writes.
Think that over.
Filling in for me while I’m on sabbatical will be Sally Sportface who will be covering all things female such as Simone Biles making her gymnastics comeback at the Olympics.
She’ll keep you up on the Caitlin Clark soap opera which you certainly need to be kept on top of. She’ll be doing a 50-part series on the Housewives of New Jersey, Los Angeles, and all the other 48 states with housewives. She’ll be sharing the latest hot takes from “The View” a TV show dominated by women.
Nothing male will be blogged about except as it relates to females.
I have no faith Sally will be a worthy fill-in for Sammy Sportface, but this is where we find ourselves; this is the way it’s going to have to be. Standards be damned.
The Sammy Sportface brand is most definitely going to take a big hit in my absence but it won’t be the first time nor the last. It has been taking brand blows since the day this blog hit the streets so no news there.
Hang ten, Baby Boomer Brothers.
Until we meet again.
