May's Brimmer

May’s Brimmer

Well, the last few months have been busy around Binlids, here is a recap, in case you haven’t been part of the festivities or like Obie who doesn’t remember them!

There was a North Catholic Soccer Hall of Fame dinner at Romano’s, where a few of the Falcons stars were inducted, our own soccer star, too many head balls, Tigger showed up, sat down and was amazed to find out that the guys were getting inducted, not indicted, as he thought!

We had a beef and beer for the softball team which at this moment is 3 – 5 and heading to the playoffs, believe it or not, Tom (Mr. Happy) Healey was the entertainment and put on a heckuva show, people pay a lot of money for that kind of fun, that was his first attempt at standup and was hilarious, as any of you who have seen him on Wed. nights at the Club, he along with Hal (Back in the Day) Carty are like Martin and Lewis or maybe it is Lewis and Clark!

The dog park’s VP, Jack (Obarka) Cassidy is running for another term at the dog park, unfortunately the election was April 26th, we hope that it wasn’t ruff for the VP, he is also involved in a fundraiser for the park on May 10th, the entertainment will be Three “Dog” Night and Jimmy “Ruff”in, if you are interested, give Jack a bark!

Our annual trip to Delaware Park is Sat. August 23rd, the price this year is $65. per person, it includes the usual, party in the grove, plus beer on the bus, up and back, we also will have another Trophy race, the AOH Division #87 Handicap, our own horse whisperer, Matty Edgar will give out tips, free of charge, remember you get what you pay for and if Matty gives you a tip, then take it with a couple grains of salt. This trip always sells out, so, get your name to me, ASAP, plus your monies, the cost of bus transportation is very high, as I am sure that anyone that stops at a gas station will attest, so, I need sign ups and money, real quick.

On March 17th, a few of us went up to Out of Wack Jack’s bar, Healey’s neighborhood watering hole, for the 2nd annual,
“Healeypolluza”, not too many people showed up, but next year’s gala promises to be a good time, look for the ads on TV for that event!

Breaking News! We all saw the Pope in his trip to the U.S. driving around in his Pope Mobile, in fact, the Yankees brass forbade the Pontiff of driving on the Yankee Stadium grass, well, we had a similar incident recently at the Binlids when Kieran could not park his Shrek Mobile in the back parking lot of the Club, please, we will have no more benefits that include using the parking spot of Shrek, no one could enjoy themselves when our hero sulked all day!


That’s All Folks!
