Hello 2008
While I have visited the Keys, a few times I have been
derelict in my duties to update the web page so I have scheduled a summary
execution to take place on May 31st, 2008. On that date I will drink
myself silly...that's right not just drunk, but silly...listening to
whomever is playing at the Schooner Wharf Bar from noon to about 3 pm.
Then I plan on a martini before dinner. Please feel free to join me.
A dispatch from the opposition party:
Impeach the Mayor!!!
Fellow Key West lovers. While
Todd as served us well in his very limited appearances, this is not an
office for a man in a family way. The pressures and demands are too high to
have ones time divided between domestic responsibilities and the heavy
burden of honorary mayor of Key West. There is so much to do. Do you realize
there are 364 bars in Key West! As Mayor I promise my constituents that the
hard work of visiting all these establishments, while daunting, will be my
goal. I have already made real progress in fulfilling this promise. My
opponents would say that I always end up at the same place, and while this
is true, I will dispatch my drunken minions that do not share my insatiable
desire for certain German Delicacies, to go forth and complete my work for
me, and after all, isn’t that the sign of a good leader, delegation of
responsibilities so that the man on top really has none.
Old news
The Mayor expresses his desire to aid in the relief of
Key Westers who may have been hurt by the recent storms. The mayor is
seeking to offer shelter to any single women who may need assistance.
While this may seem unorthodox, he states, his intentions are good. No
comment from Mrs. Mayor but her attorney advised, "Keep it up, smart
XXX....".
IMPORTANT FLASH!!! There
may be a coup taking place as we speak, rumor has it that Frances is coming to
town to destroy the Mayor.
Wait, a more current update, 9-11-04
Chuck the Vice-Mayor (
I wanted the job but he knew more women) explains to me that the 25th
amendment, more commonly known in the Keys as the 10th shot rule, allows the
Vice Mayor to take over the duties of the Mayor during vows like
this.
WOW, is this heating up more rapidly than the
Presidential election or what...okay, more news to follow.
Message from the "Mayor":
The mayor is our ceremonial figurehead who guides us in our deliberations
and helps maintain a sense of decorum and awe when we travel to Key
West. Todd is presently our honored mayor.
The Mayor was so overcome by the results of our last Key West trip in
August that he has taken a vow of silence (his wife wanted celibacy but....)
We still expect the Mayor to return to his witty commentary
shortly but until then he is:
It's a "Lame duck", for the slower crowd.
The Mayor is the informal leader of the Hunt Club and is revered for his
talent and wisdom with the natives.
