BOB & Zach - went to Davie & Key West, Florida on an Adventure. Met up with an old friend of yours and mine. Jeff Elliott is a man I have the utmost respect for. He gave up everything for his 8 year old daughter. After his ex was allowed by a RI Judge to leave our state and move to FL, Jeff sold his thriving restaurant on Hope St in Providence (J Elliotts) and moved to FL in order to be closer to his daughter. Now that's commitment!
We drove down Rt 1 to the end. The southernmost point in the USA -Key West.
Zach & I also visited a friend and former Rhode Island family, the Leonard's (Bumble Bee's and Auto Show Volvo). It was great to see them!
On Mallory Sq we encountered the ever strange Love 22. He was rude to Zach & me claiming that a couple of bucks was not enough of a tip for a paper ring and a folded $22 bill. He suggested $20.00 was what it was worth. He's lucky to I didn't take back to two dollars I had given him.
