You Just Can Not Make This Up
In our home is an original staircase from the Hillsborough County Court House. We were told this was the back stairs that took the prisoners away after trial. In the wood work are upside down cross. The symbol has different meanings, from very good to very bad. Originally it was the Latin Cross of Saint Peter. Apostle Peter was also known as the first Pope. In some Eastern European countries, the name for Peter is Simion. Here is where this all gets interesting. So, the symbol on our stairs is Pope Simion. Carrie’s middle name is Pope. My middle name is Simion. What a strange coincidence. You Just Can Not Make This Up

What a fun day today was! Tampa Pride, along with 50 other Tampa Bay non profits, was invited to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino for a surprise event. 7 of us from Tampa Pride suited up and headed over, not having any idea what to expect. We were treated to a great buffet breakfast of hot food or pastries, then a fun presentation by America’s Got Talent artist David Garibaldi. Finally, 50 employees gathered on the stage with large cards. When they turned them around, they were $10,000 checks for all 50 charities!!! Wow!! Tampa Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino gave back to our community $500,000!!!! Thank you, Tampa Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

The Tampa Bay Jokers
From City Side Lounge…. To say that I am beyond proud of our Jokers softball teams, both D & E division would be an understatement. You all have accomplished an incredible feat. You all made it to the World Series, you competed against the best of the best, and each of you should be proud of this accomplishment.
Though the outcome was not what we had hoped for; your actions on the field show that our Jokers are a force to be reconded with. You each gave it all against overwhelming odds and you never gave up. You made each inning a battle royal and forced the teams you played against to fight tooth and nail for each run.
I love each of you; I am and was honored to be able to travel to Columbus to watch your games. You all exhibited talents, skills and drive that are hallmarks of true champions.
Michael Richardson, Rony Melghem, you both are true leaders. You each fought for your teams with dignity and valor. You both lead your teams to the World Series. I am honored and grateful to not only be your sponsor, but more importantly your friend. Thank you both for giving City Side and I the opportunity to help you to achieve your goals.
I would also like to take the opportunity to congratulate The Saints and Morning Wood for reaching the World Series. You each fought like hell during the series. You all, in my opinion are true champion’s.

25th Annual STCOC Fall Golf Classic @ Rocky Point
You Just Can Not Make This UP
There was a Legendary Drag performer in Daytona Beach. Her name was Miss Billy Boots!!! She performed at the Hollywood/ Barn Door Complex for over 40+ years, with her male lead Michael Blake. Late one night Billy had just finished performing “Meet Me in St. Louis”, a song performed by Judy Garland in the movie with the same name. This was one of Billy’s favorites. Back in the dressing room Billy was sitting at her makeup table. Billy said that she was vey thirsty and asked for a glass of water. When they returned with the water. Billy’s head was resting on the table. Billy had just died. 911 was called and the whole bar was in shock at what had just happened. The paramedics showed great respect and placed Billy on the stretcher in the sequined dress she was wearing, full makeup and her wig was on. As they took her out thru the bar the music was turned off. Everyone was standing in silence. When the body was outside the DJ announced “MISS BILLY BOATS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.” There wasn’t a dry eye in the club. This was September 30, 2003. Watermark Magazine reported that Bill was 71 years of age. Her good friends just smiled and said more like 83 LOL. Shortly after her dead the club was sold and torn down.
