It's Tuesday, March 21st, radio station playlists are still coming in from around the country. Records are still being added...But, "Where's Charlie?"
Where's the humor, where's the zest, where's the good-hearted fellow with the southern drawl..."Where's Charlie?"
Friends still stroll the beach in Malibu, past that ill-fated house, and ask..."Where's Charlie?"
And now, as we settle back into our daily routines, there will be moments when we stop in a hallway or as we have dinner in a particular restaurant and swear that we can still hear that distinctive laugh and unforgettable voice shout out "Hey, Buddy!"...and we'll ask once more "Where's Charlie?"
GOD BLESS HIM....
We'll all miss him...

I smiled when Iheard the news of Michael Jordan's immanent return to basketball. In challenging, and ultimately breaking down, the limiting judgments of others. That is why he some semi -conscious expression of exultation, I raised my fist; not merely at the prospect played. And once he proved himself to be the sovereign and absolute master of his realm, of the athletic fireworks he would (I hoped) soon unleash, but at the impending drama. he left (some have said that was selfish), in search of new challenges. After walking away from the game he had so clearly mastered, Michael Jordan was putting Beyond seeking new conquests, their can be no doubt that the withering glare of the away his diamond visions and returning to basketball, with perhaps, a new set of hoop media spotlight, and his father's murder, dampened the inner fires that burned with his dreams passion for basketball. And besides, basketball was never really the point. It was just a My momentary joy was quickly tempered by a friend who assured me that Michael means to an end. Jordan was coming back to the NBA for only one thing. "It's the money," he said. After an A Chicago team-mate told a reporter that Michael Jordan is coming back because some incredulous non-verbal response from me, my friend realized the inherent silliness of his people think he can't. "Don't tell him how good he is," the player said, "just tell him he can't remark. We both agreed that Michael Jordan would never need more money, and he do something. That's what gets him going." That's why Michael Jordan is coming back, settled for the broader general conclusion that Jordan was coming back to basketball and therein lies a valuable lesson. because "he's selfish." We are all continually subjected to the criticisms and potentially limiting judgments of
This time, I realized that my friend was probably right. Like the decisions most of us others. How many times have we heard "she's just a pop singer," "he'll never get out of make (what to wear, where to eat, where to work out), Michael Jordan's decision to return small -markets," "that label can't buy a hit," et al? Mea culpa. I'm guilty of it. My guess is so to basketball is no doubt a product of the intricate web of surfeit drives and psycho - are you. (See, I'm doing it again). And to be honest, it's endemic to our professions. At its emotional appetites we all consider, consciously or unconsciously, before we make any most innocuous, we label as a way of defining what we do and who we are, based on decision. It may be selfish, but isn't ego gratification one of our prime movers? In this way, where we've been and what we've done. Unfortunately, we often use these labels as a we are all selfish. But by calling Michael Jordan selfish, we are merely humanizing him, way of limiting what we'll be and what we'll achieve in the future.And this is where bringing HIS ROYAL AIR -NESS down to earth, making him one of us. At the same time, Michael Jordan comes in. that judgment smacks of no small bit of envy, (and let's be honest, how many of us Rather than accept the doubts and criticisms of naysayers, Michael Jordan uses them to wouldn't relish such an incredible scenario in our lives?) and deprives us of a chance to stoke the furnace that burns hot with his inner fires. Early in his career, some basketball learn from this fearless competitor. commentators thought that he would never be a "complete player" because of his lack of At 15 he was cut from his high school basketball team. But he didn't accept that as a consistency shooting three -pointers. When he retired, Jordan was among the NBA's bestl final judgment of his abilities. He worked hard, maximizing his mind -boggling God-given three-point shooters! talent by practicing and mastering basketball fundamentals. By the time he had graduated I do not mean this to be a lengthy re -wording of some cheap bromide about hard work, from college, the name AIR JORDAN was already a household word. From his rookie year perseverance and character. Nor is it my purpose to invoke the time-honored notion that in 1984, until his retirement 18 -months ago, Jordan continued to prove his detractors, and happiness is more often found "not in the arrival, but rather in the journey itself." To be anyone else who put limitations on him, to be wrong. And Ican't help thinking that with sure, these are a part of what we can learn here. But the real lesson has something to do each pass, each steal, each impossible three -pointer, and most especially, each slam with hearing your own inner voice, and heeding your own path to glory. It's about not dunk, he was, in his mind's eye, looking to the bench, hoping to find his high school coach, tuning out our critics and those who seek to limit us, but rather, turning their negative and saying "cut me from the team now!" energy into fuel for our fires. I'd be painting a petty picture here ifI wrote -off Jordan's incredible achievements as I'm still a bit fuzzy on some of this myself. But I do know that we should all be rooting for mere revenge against a coach who wouldn't let him play. Obviously, Michael Jordan loves Michael Jordan..not to win an NBA championship or another scoring title. Instead we basketball. Beyond the money and accolades, he has a passion for the game. And it is should be rooting for him simply because he'll be playing. We should be rooting because that passion, combined with a desire to prove himself, that is the real nexus of this story. he has just become an underdog. Mostly though, we should be rooting because his return Michael Jordan played basketball because he loved it, but he achieved great things by has given us all a chance to learn to be "like Mike."
