A Good Week at the Beach

I am Not Worthy

23 years I’ve been married to this girl and I still can’t believe how fortunate I am that she enjoys creating great meals for us year after year like this ! 

Cooper We Miss You

We lost our Cooper May 5, 2020.  We love you Cooper.  

Too Little Too Late

Hey lady in line at McDonald's, you're not impressing us with your parenting skills.  Your two kids aren't paying attention because you need to discipline them more often than your weekly foray to Mickey D's. We all love our kids to death, but when you speak to them at a volume and tone that actually is meant to impress the adults around you, we know what's up.  Do your cute little tikes a favor and teach them to accept the word NO for an answer when you're at home.  

Big Storm Meets Big Dummy

Hurricane Irma swallows Florida this weekend.  Although the world knew this record-setting storm was headed for Florida my genius cousin decides to stay at home in Bradenton (red pin) with his children. The eye of Irma is predicted to hit Bradenton Sunday afternoon with storm surges 8-15 above sea level. Elevation of Bradenton is 9'. DO THE MATH. 

Full Steam Ahead

Thanks to all of our members who attended the WIMBLEDON PARTY ! It was a blast - and the winners of the two tickets to the Western Southern Open are Bruce and Pam Hardy !!! Congratulations and have fun ! 

Our courts handled the excessive rain very well and we will be FULL STEAM AHEAD all week.  Come out and enjoy the weather.   

Also congratulations to ROGER FEDERER for winning his 8th WIMBLEDON title and his 19th GRANDSLAM SINGLES TITLE.   

It makes Roger 1-0 at the GRANDSLAMS since I got my new license plates.  Maybe it's good luck for Roger eh ? 

Whatever

As I open my courier each morning this week, I’m hoping that I read that our city’s leaders have been helping our citizens clean-up from the mess the flooding has once again caused.  I know what you’re thinking.  It’s not fair we blame people for an act of God, but wouldn’t it appear better if they weren’t in public over the weekend socializing over cocktails and playing golf?  We should all feel so fortunate that we live in a town that has no drug problems, no crime, no jail over-populations issues or a homeless problem.  Yes.  I'm being sarcastic. These elected leaders need to show their faces during the bad times and not just the good.

And why were 25 trees cut down in the middle of our business district?  Please don’t tell me it was done to make room for the #&%@?@& BUMPOUTS !!!
