Updates: Michigan to Florida & Fenkell Enterprises Incorporated

So clearly it has been a while since my last post but man oh man has a lot transpired the past year or so. First off, I don't live in Michigan anymore as most know, I moved to Fort Lauderdale Florida. I currently live with my beautiful girlfriend Courtney Paige. My business, Fenkell Enterprises Inc. is making huge strides. As of now, got 60 season tickets in 5 different NBA markets, and are actually in the process of picking up season tickets in the NHL. Time will tell on that but my older brother and partner, Joel, have and will continue to make the best decisions for F.E.I as time goes on.

My younger brother and family are in the process of moving down here. Stay tuned! I plan on getting back in the groove and blog. Need a Dallas Mavericks win tonight.

Tamakwa's 75th Anniversary (Part 1)

Well well well…what can be said. 75 years of truly incredible experiences for over 15,000 campers… all boiling down to one weekend. Yes fellow putinfenkell.com supporters…for those who heard about it or were there, it was that surreal. With less than 48 hours on the Shores of South Tea with 260 past Tamakwans from all generations, everything had to be done with such force and spirit that most couldn’t handle it…. but as you may have guessed…we did…and who would’ve imagined that I would've been there to experience it.

I’m going to take us back to about a week or so before the Post-Camp celebration, Thursday September 19th, and there I was laying in bed dozing off watching TV. All of a sudden my phone buzzed and kept buzzing. Little did I know that this moment would forever change my life. The buzzing came from the chatter on my “Wood and Beaver” BBM chat I was apart of. This group chat on my blackberry included over 28 past Tamakwans…whom were and still are all legends in their own right, expressing their excitement for the following weekend in South Tea. When I looked at my phone I read messages going on between Dustin Wachler, Seth Rogers, Andrew Sherman, Brandon Schram, and Aaron L. Rosenhaus, all discussing Fen to not be a “pussy” and attend the 75th. It included comments like what an incredible life changing opportunity I’d be missing or how everyone is going but me. After realizing the mistake I was making I decided that I would give it another thought.

Previous to the conversation I thought the anniversary was a week earlier than what it really was. Also I thought that it was way overpriced to travel for basically less than two days…($225 with no OTPHJ). So, the following morning I told my majjj and fajjj that this was something I was going to do regardless of what they said because A) I was paying for it myself and B) Because I’m Fen. Initially they both thought I was crazy for taking off work for two days as well as spending what I had to in order to attend, but after some epic persuasional speaking and one handed push-ups they came to their senses.

After telling my rents of my decision I made my way into Rhemicom’s offices in Farmington Hills and called DWach to tell him I was in. As it ended up being Wachler Schram and I drove up to Toronto Thursday morning to spend the night at our boys places, who live in the Red Path Apartments, before making our way up to camp the following afternoon. The drive up to Toronto began at 8:30 am when I woke up and proceeded to take a shower listening to Sam Adams- Driving Me Crazy and Kanye’s new Jam Runaway. After freshening up I loaded up my 2009 Cadillac CTS Black on Black with my hockey equipment, stick bag, suitcase for clothing, and my bedding, which was stuffed into a clear garbage bag.


I soon arrived in the Lagoons at Schreezie’s crib at 9am. I had never been to his family’s new place so I went inside to check it out. After roaming around looking at Playboy’s and stealing a Marley beverage we ventured off to SkyWachlers place in Huntington Woods.

Figuring once we arrived at his place we were going to jet to Toronto we found ourselves waiting for an hour or so. Granted Sky was on the phone with one of the largest law firms in Chicago, we wanted to get there. Not just to get there but to make it to Michael Budman’s (Half-Owner of Roots clothing) house to play 3-on-3 roller hockey on his outdoor rink.

We eventually got through the border and made our way up to TDot by 4pm. We then settled in after waiting for Howie Migdal to arrive at the apartment complex from his work to let us in. As you can imagine it only took an hour or so before we made our way over to Budman’s to play some puck. It’s funny how things work out, we pulled up to Budman’s house at the same time as Seth Rogers and Matthew Ran did (my teammates) so it was perfect timing. As I carried my bag towards the rink I saw Cranbrook hockey legend Danny Kaufman, the myth Aaron L Rosenhaus, Shayne Diamond and Adam Sud. After saying what up to everyone I began getting dressed in Budman’s locker room it began to rain (yes they have a dressing room right next to their rink)

The teams that day were Adam Sud, Brandon Schram and DWach vs. Seth Rogers, Matt Ran and myself. Once we saw the rain we all thought it just wasn’t going to happen for us that day but then in came Sooood to the rescue. The rain eventually stopped 10 minutes later followed by Sud making his way back onto the surface with a snow blower to dry up the concrete rink. Within 20 minutes it was dry and we were on the rink. To make a long story long my team beat theirs every game we played. Nuff Nuff.


After the game we all poo’ed and headed back to Red Path to shower, pre-drink and make our way out to the bars with Mike Kimmel and co. After a shower, poo, Pizza Pizza, and a stop at the LCBO we were in Migdals apartment drinking and socializing. Unfortunately I wasn’t feeling all that well so I actually stayed in that night with Corey “The Shoveler” Weisberg when everyone went out.

The following morning I woke up after sleeping on Weisberg’s extremely uncomfortable couch. We left Red Path at roughly noon following behind Ari Dizzle Diamond’s car. Noon came to be a time which we would eventually regret. About a half-hour or so into our trek up to camp we found ourselves stuck on the 400, not in bumper to bumper traffic, but completely stopped. Moral of the story is that we did not move for over about two hours! Hours in which Wach, Schram, Ari Diamond, and myself pulled out our hockey sticks and a tennis ball to play on the highway. Just ridiculous because we wanted to make a pit stop at Webbers to get their famous burgers, which clearly we could not now.

Once we arrived at camp around 5ish we parked and made our way down to the docks. Once aboard one of the pointers heading into camp Josh Amir and I made what I’ll refer to as a ‘mistake’ when we accidentally made fun of someone’s wife in front of them, not my best moment of the weekend to say the least. Moving on here though. we got off the pointer and made our way through main camp. It didn’t take long before we saw a swarm of people drinking and socializing under Loon Lodge, however in this case for this weekend it was referred to as the Loon Lounge. Everyone was there. From Jeff Avigian to Evan Taerk to Dave Krikst all the way back to Stu Binder. If you were a legend and went to Tamakwa, you were there. Yes, there are some exceptions but not many.

After all of the hello’s and how are you’s, Sky, Schreezie, and I made our way to our cabin, Dickson Bonfield. Before entering our cabin we were graced by the presence of Evan Wolf and Richard Kerwin. We dropped our clothes and stuff off before jetting down to get some drinks before Shabbat dinner.

After an hour or so of chatting we made our way into dinner. At my table sat Matthew Orley, Matt and Mike Ran, Richard Kerwin, Dwach, and Evan and Michael Wolf. What was and still is amazing to me was that I had never drank or smoked in camp and now it was like a free for all. We had wine and vodka for drinks and of course the usual Tamakwa Friday night food of chicken, masked potatoes, and vegetables. After dinner everyone made their way down to the slope for services. Usually cabins have a topic and speak about them but this time it was an open mic for anyone who had something to say. As you could have guessed I made my way up there along with the likes of Sandy Nelson, Jason Orley, Brian Hermilin, and others. After an hour or so of speeches we all broke free and did whatever we wanted. Campfires, drinking, late night snacks, stories, music, and Fenkell. Unreal. I made my way back up to the cabin a little early Friday night because I had a cold and I wanted to prepare myself for what was soon to be an unbelievable crazy day in the Shores of South Tea. I eventually passed out at 3am only to be woken up by Rogers and the rest of the crew being as loud as they could be. The funniest was watching Dwach duck taping me to my bed thinking I was sleeping but was awake and eating sour cherry blasters. That just gives you an idea of the madness but overall happiness, spirit, and fun that every single individual had that weekend. Having said that, this was only the first night ladies and gentlemen. The rest of the trip in Part 2 will be posted shortly… so stay tuned.

Lovin' Life

Well well well. It sure has been a while since I last posted on my blog. Truth is, I've been working and doing my absolute best to update putinfenkell.com. At the moment I am currently working for an advertising/marketing firm called Rhemicom. I also write for the Detroit Red Wings on www.examiner.com.

My younger brother Jeffrey is in Israel working on a kibbutz for the next5 months. He left only a few weeks ago. When we skype he tells me how wonderful Israel is and how much fun he is really having.

Joel is finishing up school at The Golf Academy of America in San Diego, California. His game is flush at the moment. When he left for the academy his handicap was fluctuating right around a 9. Now he is a 2-3 handicap. Joel spends most of his time at the golf range where he continuously tries to perfect every aspect of his game. I'm excited to see him play the next time I see him.

My pops opened up a Bread Basket Deli on 6 and Woodward about 3 moths ago.

My majjj quit smoking cigs exactly a week ago, and I'm praying she continues to do so.

Dudley is unfortunately overweight but let me tell you something. He is beyond loved and always has a smile on his face.

My hockey demo has been on youtube for a little less than a month. Already got 500 hits. Check it out.

Besides that all is going well. I hope all is going well with everyone else who's reading this.

I AM...TIGER WOODS

First and most importantly, I want to say how proud I am of Tiger for doing what he did today. Its tough to even think about what the past 3 months has done to Tiger Woods mentally and emotionally. Yes, this whole situation is his fault and all the blame- as he made clear- should and is on his shoulders. Tigers apology was a step in the right direction for he and his family.

For the duration of his public statement- roughly 13 minutes- I was in a zone between Tiger and myself- and I could not keep my eyes off of him…I had to hear every word. He covered almost every question and angle to a thought I had from a personal standpoint. Yeah there are still a few that linger on- such as how many women he actually hooked up total or what the exact date will be for his triumphant return to the game of golf- but those questions as Tiger made clear are between only he and his wife-deservedly so.

It came to me for the first time today while watching hi, that Tiger is not treated like everyone else. He mentioned how he realized he has to play by the same rules as everyone else and how his fame and fortune blinded him. But in reality, we treat Tiger like a superhuman god-before and even after this wild 3-month escapade. How many people do you think around the world stopped what they were doing completely to watch Tigers EVERY word. How many employees huddled around a television in their office buildings, what about all the children in schools who made their teacher put it on in their classroom. Tiger is followed and watched more closely in our country -and probably around the world- than our president. All I’m saying is think about it. When you include little kids, athletes of all ages, teenagers, young adults, adults, the elderly I mean every type of person no matter where you are from made sure to watch these 13 minutes more closely and seemed to care more about what Tiger had to say than our presidents last speech (I would love to see the numbers on that). We talk, eat, sleep, and some of us breathe Tiger Woods on weekends where he is playing in tournaments. Every time he steps foot onto the course, at least in my family, Tiger Woods controls our world. Is it sad? NO. Is it incredible? YES, every second. Why? Because I am watching the best athlete to ever live in the prime of his career. I was born in 1987. The last time an athlete was in his prime of this enormity (besides the Great Swiss Roger Federer who is right there with Tiger in how I watch and root for them) it was Michael Jordan/Wayne Gretzky. They were at their peaks when I was too young to realize or appreciate what they were doing and what talent and skill they each had. Tiger is one of the most recognizable and followed human beings in the world today. Every athlete writes his/her own story through their actions, achievements, and words. When you think about it NOONE has ever been able to KNOW the real Tiger Woods because he lives and breathes on such a higher atmosphere than we all do- but today Tiger Woods brought himself down to a level where everyone can comprehend the world that he currently lives in and his state of mind.

Some critics didn’t think Tiger was sincere, some thought he was on drugs, some say he took performance enhancing drugs, some believe he should have come out earlier to address his situation. To those people; Imagine being in his position. He was as sincere as I have ever seen him. In reference to the other allegations, he may have taken male enhancement but not performance enhancement (joke) and I mean just look at the work-out regiment he has. Very few can say they train and do what he does every day to remain where he is in the world of sports. Lets go back to the last time we really saw Tiger before this 3 month stretch- he was accepting a trophy in Australia. Now since that day look at the velocity in which his whole world came tumbling down. I believe Tiger needed this time to really think about what he did. He needed the necessary amount of time to formulate all of the accusations that we being brought on him each and every day. Had Tiger come out earlier midst all of these women stepping forward it would have caused even more trouble for he and his family. There were moments throughout his statement where I truly felt bad for him- I guess you can say for the first time that I felt his pain. Tiger focused some of his speech on the treatment of his family. His wife Elin and children Sam and Charlie should not have and hopefully will not continue to be dragged into this mess. Tiger was right- his wife deserves praise not blame. Through the women I’ve spoken to regarding Elin’s situation she has faced- it is one that most women can’t comprehend. Yes, married women are getting cheated on everyday, but most do not come even close to this magnitude of scale- considering his fame throughout the world and the total amount of women he was involved with. Tiger will save his marriage and he will come back before the season is over. I know that I am one of millions who want to see Tiger back on the golf course for the first major of the calendar year. Will we? Me being an optimist believes so- but this decision is one that he can only answer. I expect to see ESPN and every other media outlet ask these questions to take up air-time but the truth of the matter is that whenever Tiger believes he is ready- I’ll feel terrible for all those on the PGA Tour who compete against him. I hope Tiger sticks to his word about acting more professionally out on the golf course- no more throwing clubs or swearing- but exude a love for the game that has been missing the last few years he has played. I’m not sure what his father Earl would think of all this mayhem but I can assure you one thing and that is he would advise Tiger to take the steps that he is now taking to get back to the honorable man we all know. Tiger is my hero and will continue to be even after these transgressions. I predict that by the time he decides to leave the game of golf for good he will have won a total of 23 majors.

F for Fendetta

Wow. what a great past week I just had. I took an exam at MSU in my Political Science class- I'll get that back shortly. I started Spec Howard this week and let me tell you it is everything I was expecting plus some. My classes are outstanding and my professors/faculty are fun and outgoing. I was in the radio booth already and working on TV production.

Earlier today I went to Knollwood to play 9 holes with my fajjj and Jerry Minkin. I birdied the Par 3 4th. Took out my 9 iron and placed in within 5 feet. Sunk the putt. Shouldda birdied number 5 too but missed a 10 footer. After we played I went to steam and shower. Got a nice shave in.

I've been hanging out with my boy Brad LeBret recently. He has taken me under his wing if you would. Went to his pad in RO and beat him in Boxing on Playstation 3. He was Mike Tyson and I was Joe Frazier.

Tonight Courtney and I are headed to the JCC in West Bloomfield for Jason Sachse's bar mitzvah party. The services last night at Temple Israel were wonderful. Cant wait.

Everything else is going well too. My mother got the news back after a cat-scan on her chest and lungs that everything was CLEAR! Wow, you have no idea how scared I was. She is almost on two weeks of quitting smoking. Joel is doing well in San Diego. Jeffrey is attending his classes in Bloomington and my fajjj is close to finalizing a new business. Everything seems to be going in a positive direction.

My roller hockey team is stacked and our first game is in November. My broadcasts for Cranbrook Kingswood hockey begin within the next few weeks. I'll be sure to let you know when my first broadcast is. Remember they are archived online so you'll not only know when but also where to listen too when the time comes.

Vajjj.

MSU & Spec Howard

I havent had a new blog post in over a month and a half. Reason being for those of you who haven't figured it out is because I restructured my whole website. It is still in the works but in my personal opinion it is more organized and somewhat more professional. I am in my last semester here at Michigan State University. I will be graduating in December. I begin my 8 month program at Spec Howard School of Broadcasting on October 12th. I am extremely excited for it as it will mark another step towards me achieving my ultimate dream of becoming an ESPN Sportscaster. Also, I am playing on the Roller Hockey team at MSU for one more year. I am thrilled to have another chance at winning a national championship. I think our team has a damn good chance to go the distance this year. Besides that everything is running smoothly for me. I am still dating Courtney Wiesman and cant be happier. Dudley is still precious. My mother has quit smoking cigarettes for 2 days now and my fajjj is in the initial stages of starting a business. Joel is currently attending the Golf Academy of America in San Diego and Jeffrey is in his Sophomore year at Indiana University.
