Where Is?

Arrived at Bobby's: Sat, May 6, 2017, @ 7:30 AM.

#SecureThePorch: Accomplished

This week, location security was handled admirably by BK's own Rick Black but it's just not the same without Eddie in the chair at the head of the table.

BK Guests: Not Reported

BK Blog Entry respectfully submitted by Al D.

By the way, "where's Eddie?"

This was the refrain as the BK members and guests arrived for our weekly respite from the real world at Bobby's Corner Deli.  In the interest of full disclosure, Ed was given the day off to be with his lovely bride who is recovering from knee surgery.  Ed, like all BK members, recognizes that the way this thing called 'life' works is by making sure the needs of our better halves are taken care of first and foremost.  Get well soon Cin....... 

Happy Birthday to our own Mike Hagerty!  Mike is the newest member of the 60 yr and 4-month club.

Wait! What?

This week the conversations that flowed across the breakfast table started with the latest goings-on in our nation's capital where it was/is obvious that this circus continues to be totally detached from real people (like us) who are concerned with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  We also tried to name the #1 QB on the NY Jets depth chart and at least 2 Jet fans needed to look it up on their phones.  Now that speaks volumes!

By the way, "where's Eddie?"

By far the topic that took up the most table talk was the run for the roses.  Rick did his homework and passed around an 8-page single-spaced report on the 20 entries and Tom had come equipped with 20 tiny cut pieces of paper with horse name, jockey and pole position.  Big Jim also came ready to gamble some kitty money trying to defray the cost of a big BK birthday dinner scheduled for later Saturday night.  Happy 60 yr and 4 month birthday to Mike H! 

Surely Eddie will make it to Frisco's tonight; right?

All in all, it was a great day. Started with our weekly breakfast followed by 2 foursomes going at it hard for the $200 prize money at Quail Brook, and finishing with a 3+ hour food feast with the wives at the aforementioned Frescos.  Eddie will definitely stop by for a drink; right?

See ya next week.  Eddie will be there next Saturday; right?

ADDENDUM

Congrats to all of the golf winners of the inaugural Mike Hagerty Invitational BK Outing.  Congrats to Jim and birthday boy who split the prize for best score by a two-some with Steve and Perry.  Also to Coach Tom for the low net score.  And to Steve, Tom, Rick, and Perry for low score in the 4-man scramble.  And of course to Perry for the low individual score (26) for the middle 6 holes.  Mike B and Al didn't win any $ but a day with BK?  Priceless!!!

Brother Al - Thankyou for writing the blog. Although I thought it was a bit harsh, you stepped up and did a noteworthy job. Regarding my truancy at last week's BK club and Mike's birthday celebration, my absence was punishment enough. I did not expect criticism from someone who spends half the year in Florida. Membership in the BK club is a lot more than phoning in your monthly dues, or lottery fee, or extortion fee or whatever fee we're calling it these days. It's about showing up most Saturdays and giving your best and that I do. Hey! Even the Babe missed a few games. Even DeNiro had few bad movies. But the totality of their work measured up. I will put my attendance record up against anyone else in this BK club. My back is straight and my head is held high because you can't ride a man's back if he's standing tall. 

Happy Birthday Jim! Us founding Father's have to stick together. There are only two and there are some among us who always trying to rewrite the past. I may not show up to every 60th birthday celebration but at least I recognize all birthdays. 

Rick - You must be very proud of your son Hunter. I had the pleasure of sitting next to Hunter on Saturday, May 13. It is not every day that I have such an engaging conversation; grammar, literature, sports, hiking, you name it, we covered it. ASU is lucky to have him. Big things lie ahead for Hunter.  

By the way, I will be fishing next weekend and will not be in attendance at the BK club. Does anyone care to do the following?
