After shots were heard around 11:30 in the vicinity of A4's new home, His Worship the Mayor dispached his Head of Administration and his Administration Assistant to determine whether there was a neighbourhood crisis or if it was just some drunken fool letting off steam.

On arrival at A4's home, two bodies were discovered laid on the drive;
which were duly marked, using real proper crime scene chalk supplied by the our own local Chief of Police (Ret).
Attachment 11922

A number of empty shell cases were discovered, 22's and 38's, suggesting that there were two PERPS (which caused a panic with the His Worship the Mayors PERCS team, who thought they were under suspicion until the difference was explained to them).

The shells were duly identified and and marked at the scene;
Attachment 11923

and the crime scene, taped off;
Attachment 11924

Just before the police were called, one of the 'bodies' gave a groan and rolled over, followed by the other one, both of which turned out to be drunken oafs (as suspected by His Worship the Mayor), who then proceeded to rise and stagger down the street, shouting about how excited they were that A4 was finally coming to the neighbourhood.

Just before the 'Crime Scene' was cleared, A4, his lovely wife and Mum arrived back from the 'Closing' to a chaotic scene, where workmen were milling about, refusing to cross the crime scene line, the Neighbourhood Watch was ringing the Police and the Head of Administration (HoA) and his Administration Assistant were trying their best not to keel over laughing.

Calm was finally restored and the HoA proceeded to ask the usual questions from His Worship the Mayor for anyone entering our neighbourhood, which were;

1. Do you Mrs A4, promise to keep A4 under control and not let him be drunk and disorderly around the neighbourhood more than 2 or 3 times a week? - to which she answered - "I DO"

2. Do you A4, promise not to land any A4-Skyhawks in the street -To which he answered - "ONLY ON BRINKELY"

With the final question to MUM, which was;

3. Do you MUM, promise to keep these to Party Animals in check, so they don't become a nuisance - to which she answered - "I DO"

These being the correct answers they were offically welcomed to the neighbourhood - phew!

What a truly unique sense of humor we have in this neighborhood. From extra special christenings of lots to closing day highjinks.... I just love this place! It's an adventure just to see what's gonna happen next!

Happy Birthday to Brian, Joe, Kitty and Gayle.

Please bring an appetizer to share. We will have some seating but if you want to bring a chair please feel free to do so. We will have beer, some wine, water and soda.

So to recap: APRIL 5TH AT GAYLE AND MIKE ROBERTS DRIVEWAY AT 5:00P
1351 KILGORE WAY (AT THE TOP OF THE STREET BACKING BRINKLEY)
PLEASE BRING AN APPETIZER AND IF YOU HAVE A FAVORITE DRINK
THAT YOU PREFER. WE WILL HAVE SOME BEER, WINE, SODA AND WATER

We are looking forward to seeing you and celebrating with the best neighborhood in The Villages. Gayle and Mike

Gayle and Mike--I plan on being there but probably will be arriving around the 5:30 mark as will be coming home from work and it takes me ~40 minutes to drive home. I'm excited to meet the rest of the neighbors and look forward to celebrating the April birthdays!

Hey Everyone! Just got back from the ortho doc a few hours ago and I'm scheduled for an MRI on Friday to confirm a probably diagnosis of another torn medial meniscus.

If the results of the exam confirm the diagnosis then arthroscopic surgery will be scheduled. On the bright side, the total recovery time is only about 2 months. But, that will mean that golf and pickleball are on hold for the foreseeable future...

Unfortunately, it will also mean that Chief Rose will lose his official chauffeur to community events. He's taken this news in stride and has even offered the use of his sunny lanai during the morning hours with promises to make me nice, strong drinks as the need arises. What a pal!!!

Thanks for all of the good wishes and prayers....keep 'em coming!!!

You guys are the best of the best.

The job is a lot to learn--maybe I'm just getting too old but the people are all very nice and the drive through Inverness is beautiful in the morning--it kind of reminds me of where I grew up. I'm still stressed as the house is full of boxes--Jim's gone and I've still got a million things to take care of. He told me to just take it one day at a time--I only work 4 days/week so I'll just plan everything for my days off so I can have fun on the weekend!! So very sorry about your knee---they may just have a extra bed at one of my facilities that I can put you right into if you don't behave yourself

Sorry about the knee, Rusty. My knees were scoped three times before both were replaced with metal and plastic. I found that a good therapy program augmented by excellent single malt beverages made for speedy recovery.

Seriously hope the MRI is negative and it's just therapy, that way Andy and I can give you the therapeutic treatment, ready 4 that?
