Scout Monday was Macky's birthday, so like we do every year we invited a bunch of Macky's friends and went to Huey's in Germantown and had "Macky Specials". A Macky special is a kid's Cheeseburger with fries and a Coke. We even had Macky's favorite Bar tender waiting tables for us. And then something special happened. One of my best friends of my whole life, Alex Sanford's daughter Nicole and her baby(6 months) "Scout" and her sister Sydney came in. For me, everything stopped. I hugged them a... Read More
