As I've mentioned before, my brother leads a charmed life. Right now he and his family are in the Bahamas for spring break, staying at his in-laws' villa at Lyford Cay (which is your first clue he's living a good life) So he sent me an email this morning, and I'm sharing part of it with you guys: Okay, had a pretty good day yesterday. Can I tell you about it? Was warming up to play golf with Bud and his pals here and there was lots of excitement around the pro shop. We were told that George W. Bush was about to arrive to play golf prior to giving a speech to some Morgan Stanley executives gathered here for a conference. So, his entourage pulls up and he jumps out and goes into the locker room to change and then he comes out to warm up. He is literally five feet away from me warming up and he tells me that I must not work too hard if I can hit the ball like that. So, I said back to him, "Wait till I tell Bill Farish that you are two-timing him by playing over here and not at the Gasparilla." Bill of course is a good friend of mine and his family and the Bushes are best friends. He said back to me, "Bill charges too much to play there. I'm a retiree." We all busted out laughing. He then gave me one of his golf balls. Instead of it being numbered 1-4 like most golf balls are, his was numbered 43. It was all pretty cool! So then I go over to the first tee and who am I paired up with? Sean Connery! He is about 80 now so not the studly secret agent that you would remember, but he still is pretty robust and was very nice to play with. The best part was sitting around with everyone after golf and hearing him tell stories of his Hollywood days. For the record, Ursula Andress is his all-time favorite leading lady. It was quite a day for ol' Seward. I have a picture of the golf ball President Bush gave me and I snuck a few iPhone pictures of him warming up. They aren't very good and you can't tell it is him, but it is." I guess I will spend what's left of my life living vicariously through his... |

Charming. Kinda of makes me want to roll a joint and smoke it all myself. I live next to a rotating cast of professional hockey players. Ever so often we see their spiny-backed size 0 bleach blonde diamond encrusted pooch carrying GFs teetering around in their designer heels. Why they all drive huge SUVs I'll never know. But I was putting out the garbage in my fleece robe and clogs once as a gaggle of them were bringing in gifts for a baby shower [I could tell from the gift bags]. I said hi. They said hi. I asked who had a baby. They chatted sweet, nice to me. One of them said, "Ain't motherhood a bitch." [a statement not a question]. I said, "Yes, ... for some" . I retreated thinking, " .. for some of you". |

How rude! Pretending to ask your permission and then just went on to rub it in your face without even giving you a chance to response! I bet he doesn't even have the decency to feel bad about leading a life more charmed than yours! Some brother he is.
