One of the best parts of my life in Connecticut is helping out charities. I had a great opportunity to help support the Hartford Police Athletic League at their annual golf tournament. The PAL helps fund sports programs for city youngsters. It is a fantastic organization run by former city clerk John Bazzano, whom I met years ago when he was chief of staff to Mayor Mike Peters. My friend and neighbor Dave Jorgensen, whose love for Hartford is legendary, is a key player in PAL.

I was invited to play with the State Police team led by Brian Foley, Tim Restall of the Hartford Yard Goats and Colonel Stavros Mellekas. One of the questions I was asked is “what is next for me after leaving Channel 3?” Brian stoked some speculation with this tweet:

A few people believed it and Christine Lee of WTIC 96.5 FM called Foley on her show “Christine and Salt” to ask about it.

The answer: no, I’m not entering the police academy. These are dedicated men and women who choose to serve, and likely in way better shape than I am.

Second base for the Yard Goats? I love the team, but can better serve them as a cheerleader in the stands. Former major league baseball player Doug Glanville also weighed in:

So what’s next for me? I don’t know yet, but as they say, “stay tuned.”

Also if you haven’t been to Keney Park Golf Course. Check it out. It’s gorgeous and in great shape.
