On top of a couple trips to visit family in Wisconsin, a trip to visit overseas family in Poland with a side expedition to Prague, a stop in Winston-Salem to accept the Tennessee Sportscaster of the Year award, a weekend in south Florida calling NWSL and USL soccer matches, a trip to Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusetts to see John Williams conduct his famous film scores, NBA broadcast meetings in New York and Fox NBA meetings in Los Angeles, I went to Tokyo.
