You Just Can Not make This Up

Our good friend Bradford is moving away. Once you get Florida sand in your shoes you always come back. We are sure Brad will be back. There are many stories we can share about Brad. Here is one of our favorite.  April 29,2009, we made a short film. Brad was the star!!! Not co star of the film. One high public official called us and said how much she liked the film. Then laughing asked about BRADFORD. We told her of course he is GAY, just look how SEXY he is!!!! Good Bye & Good Luck Bradford will are looking forward to more future stories about you. With LOVE Uncle Mark & Uncle Carrie

You Just can Not Make This UP

We all have that one crazy friend, who thinks just like yourself. We were at a restaurant and I went to the men’s room. Coming back, I was laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes. My friend asked what so funny? I told her that there was a guy standing at the bar with his pants pulled down below his butt with his underwear hanging out. Not so un common but there was a hug stain on his underwear.  She jumped up and went right over to investigate herself. Comes back and says “That’s not a sh*t stain…. its gum!!!” I just had to ask what flavor was it!!! You just can not make this up.
