Technically, Coach Rick & Coach Tom arrived before me but only about by 1 minute. They have me wondering if they don't approve of the job I am doing as the Head Security of the BK Advance Team.

I was so happy, and surprised, this week when my lovely daughter Carly asked if she could drop in on the Breakfast Club. Of course, all children of the BK members are welcome and do show up from time to time but this would be her first time. 

Carly is currently enrolled in The New School in Manhattan and is working for Dodger Theatricals, a producing partnership that has an extensive list of Broadway shows including Jersey Boys, Matilda, and A Bronx Tale. She already has produced a few shows off off Broadway and is rapidly climbing the latter. Carly had a particular interest in discussing the role sports has played in all the BK members as a coach as well as a participant. In addition, a number of questions were directed towards the 'C' level BK members regarding leadership styles, motivation, effectiveness, team dynamics, and inspiration.

Why would I not be surprised if 5 years from now there was a play about the BK club and it's members? With that in mind, I along with Cindy, my assistant casting director, took the liberty of sketching out some possible cast members for "The BK Club Comes to Broadway". Let me know what you think and please share any thoughts you may have. I do need suggestions for who will play BK wives.

BK Member	Actor	BK Member	Actor
Ed B	Vince Vaughn	Jim W	John Goodman
Tom R	VP Mike Pence	Steve B	George Hamilton
Rick B	Ed Harris	Mike H	Pierce Bronson
Mike B	Phil Dunphy	Al D	Robert Deniro
Perry B	Justin Bateman	Bobby	Seth Rogen
Auxiliary Members
Jerry C	Keiffer Sutherland	Mark C no photo available	Charlie Sheen
Rich S	Rainn Wilson

A couple of notes:
Yes - I know Mike Pence is not a thespian but he is doing a heck of a job performing for President Trump.

Happy Birthday Mike B!

We had a bit of a kerfuffle(impressed?) between Mike B. and me over water discharge from a home owner's sump pump. My claim is a homeowner is in violation when a pipe is punched into the street to handle discharged water from a sump pump. Mike's claim is that it is perfectly legal... "What else are you suppose to do with the water?" That sounds very reasonable and logical but to suggest townships are always reasonable and logical is a bit of a stretch. I know it's commonplace but that doesn't mean it's legal. For starters, a homeowner typically breaks through the curb to allow discharged water to flow to the sewer. Wouldn't breaking the curb compromise the integrity of the street and or the sidewalk? It is a bit daunting taking on the 'master plumber' in the group but I stand by my claim until proven otherwise. A Heady Topper shall go to the winner. Please weigh in.

Congratulations to Tom Rooney for winning the BK fantasy Football league. Last year's champion, Mike Hagerty, graciously handed over the trophy. Enjoy your victory, it's not often that the Hagerty boys lose a sports bet.

Someone had an interesting take on the Super Bowl. "If  I was the owner of the Atlanta Falcons, the head coach would have been fired before he left the stadium on Super Bowl Sunday." Hey - we roll hard at the BK Club. As a side note, the Falcons just hired disgraced ex-Rutgers Head football coach Kyle Flood. Clearly, that would never happen if the BK club owned the Atlanta Falcons.

Al - let's set a date for A Bronx Tale. This play has your name written all over it.

One issue that is bubbling with the BK club is whether or not a BK member is entitled to a retirement dinner if said person has already received a retirement dinner but is retiring for the second time. It's not fair to mention anybody's name because that would be personalizing the issue. But, as they say in Brooklyn, "it's not personal, it's just business." Of course, we could always look this up in the bylaws but no one knows exactly where the bylaws are. We know they are somewhere in South Florida but that's about as specific an answer as we ever get.

Congratulations to the Team Connelly for coming up winners in the Super Bowl pool(s). Team Connelly consisted of Jerry C, Tom R, Steve B, Mark C, and Perry B.

Congratulations to Rick Black on his Super Bowl victory.

I'm not going to even ask you how much money was spent to come up with a winning box. I wouldn't want to take away from the victory parade. Am I bitter? Damn right I am!!!
