We have had many days in a row of great weather. The forecast for the long weekend is fabulous. Here in Minnesota we are very lucky to have the occasional cool breezes from the north. I sure hope that you will have a safe and fun Fourth of July weekend.

Tomorrow is a big day in the Osberg family. At 8:30 in the morning the very first episode of “The Outdoor Report” airs on Fox Sports North. My son Erik has been working day and night to launch this new venture. “The Outdoor Report” is a different kind of hunting and fishing show. No famous personality, just “real people made to look real”. This episode will focus on Duluth. You will get to meet some great fishing guides and share in the fun of catching big lakers. The show will air every Saturday morning in July, August and September.

In the afternoon the Osberg and Hagstrom clan will tee off at the Little Falls Country Club. We have been celebrating this family event for almost 30 years. My cousin Kevin and I named our team “Ming” , in the early years we won a lot. Not so much lately. Maybe this will be our year. As the old man sang in “Fiddler on the Roof”, “tradition”.

The final APHC show with Garrison as the host is being performed today at The Hollywood Bowl. It will be broadcast tomorrow as the usual time. The guest line-up is filled with most of Garrison’s favorite female singers. There will be many duets with the host. Enjoy the show. The rest of the summer will be re-broadcasts and on October 15th, Chris Thile will host the first new show.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred with dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with the cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt
