PUN OF THE DAY….
Thanks to Charlie Alan, who sent me this great pun……The very popular African chieftan was presented by his tribe a very expensive hand-carved gold throne. The Chieftan was very proud of it, but was concerned that someone might try to steal it from his grass hut. He decided to store the throne in the attic of the hut. Because it was so heavy…within a few days, it fell through the hut’s attic floor, landed on the chieftan, and killed him.
The Moral of the story is:
PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GRASS HOUSES SHOULDN’T STOW THRONES.
THE ART BAR SAYS GOODBYE…
The Art Bar will be closing its doors! Barbara Grob has decided it is time for a badly needed R & R…..She has put her heart and soul into her business, but wants to rethink and regroup….We all wish her much luck in whatever direction she decides to go!

IN MEMORIAM….
Today we remember, with great love and joy, our friend, TIMOTHY BROWN.
All who knew Timothy loved him very much. He was handsome, talented, delightful, caring, thoughtful, and one of Key West’s Treasures! He loved life and lived it to the fullest….he made each day count! He was a Boat Captain, a former Fantasy Fest King, a master Chef, had impecable taste, and spread joy to everyone he encountered! I was proud to call him Friend. We will never forget Timothy.. his memory will love on forever!
