My Tribute to Brother Mike
While I am somewhat stunned by Brother Mikes intention to cease the "Corn Dogs Across America" series, I can understand his thinking. I believe Mike is following the lead of other Great Americans who desired to go out on top:
Jerry Seinfeld
Ray Romano
John Elway
Richard Chesteen
and of course, Lou Brock (who "orchestrated his own exodus")
So be it. The journey is over but it is preserved for posterity in written form for future generations to enjoy.
Finally, I must say that Mike's writing skills are rivaled by no man today. No written work since that of the late Lewis Grizzard could cause me to laugh out loud until we embarked on the Corn Dog journey.
Mike, I salute you!

To be compared to my favorite baseball player of all time and to a former gubernatorial (I love saying that word) candidate is certainly flattering . . . but to be mentioned in the same sentence as Lewis Grizzard, said to be the "Mark Twain of our generation", is humbling beyond any words I can convey. Thanks, brother Scott!
